Sonus Faber Sound?

I would say that they are extremely musical and on the warm side (not dark).

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon helping a friend set up the Grand Pianos. They were well broken in but needed proper placement. I was surprized at how well they disappeared in forming the image, the coherence between the drivers, and the very pleasant and musical presentation. I found them very easy to listen with great tonal accuracy. In my opinion, they are similar to the Vandersteen 3 Sigs (which would still be my first choice). That is unusual given they have very different technologies. The Grand Pianos might be preferred in a smaller room or in a home theater where the smaller size would fit in better. All in all, they are far better to my liking than many others.

I agree with Cello (Larry) they are very pleasant/warm sounding speakers, yet still have details and dynamics. I would not call them dark ,but sweet with great liquidity and smoothness. They remind me of some the better tube amps that I have listened to, warm but not bloated or to euphonic.

I'll join most others in saying the Grand Piano Homes are slightly on the warm side of neutral. That said, they are quite pleasant sounding, and I felt they were near the top of their price class when I heard them last a couple months back. Very nice speakers indeed.

I concur with the comments above as I own a pair of Grand Pianos. They are on the warm side of neutral which lends to their musicality on most types of music. Very hard to go wrong them.
