Listening to Gina Bachauer play Chopin Piano Concerto #1 on Mercury Living Presence 35MM recording on my rig, you won’t hear a much better piano recording. Maybe on all mbl system. Setup is Squeezepad player running on Ipad to Chord Mojo DAC to Audio research sp16 pre-amp to BEl Canto ref1000m amps to OHM Walsh F5 speakers. Like being there sitting next to her playing.
What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano
Over the past 4 months I've spent time with five loudspeakers. On a scale of 1-10 I'd rate them as follows in their ability (with my equipment in my room) to recreate a lifelike piano. Tekton Lore - 6.5 (great scale but tonal accuracy and clarity somewhat lacking), Kef LS50 - 7.0 (moderate scale but slightly better clarity and tonal accuracy) Kef R500 - 8.0 (great scale and very good clarity and tonal accuracy), Spatial Audio M3TurboS -8.1 (great scale and very good clarity and tonal accuracy and very smooth) Magnepan 1.7i - 9.0 (very good scale with excellent clarity and tonal accuracy - very lifelike).
In your room with your equipment, what loudspeakers are you listening too and how would you rate them for their ability to recreate a lifelife piano and if possible a few comments as to why?
