Or you could just try turning your speakers outward at a 45 degree angle so you don't get the full brunt of the highs. That would certainly be a cost-effective solution.
Mellow speakers for a digital piano
I have been trying to get my digital piano to sound more mellow instead of so sharp / tinny.
What I have been using are Focal CMS40 powered monitors and JBL LSR 305 powered monitors.
I get a nice clear sound but it is too sharp, yet. I have tried EQ boxes and even that does not do it for me.
I hear piano sounds (internet) from various sources and I long for that sound from my piano.
I wish to find something I can put on a stand behind my piano and at ear level.
I have read things on this site that are encouraging but have no idea if what someone else likes is what I would like.
Any thoughts ?

Yamaha NX-N500. Lovely sound, smooth, reminds me of Era/Peachtree D4. I have Era D4 hooked up to Yamaha RX-A1060 in my sunroom and NX-N500 in my kitchen. Love them both. Nice but not boomy bass for the size. About $500, amplification included, plus a really nice wireless music solution. I take them with me on vacations. |
If this is just for home use, I would start with a tube amp of about 30 watts, like a Dynaco ST-70 or the like, and find a set of speakers that are easy to drive so that 30 watts means something. My JBL JRX215 speakers that I use for my keyboard rig are 8 ohms and 97 db; they are easily driven by a 30 watt tube amp. On stage I use 500 watts per channel, but there is no need for that at home. You can find them for $300 each on ebay. They are not the last word in resolution, but they sound surprisingly good with a decent signal. Not much output below 40Hz. You might also consider a set of JBL L-100s... You might want to process the sound a bit. I would not use a mixer, but I would consider a digital reverb like this one: http://www.alesis.com/products/legacy/nanoverb2 |
