All of the advises offered here are of limited value because they are from audiophiles who work only in 2D and do not know the properties or DNA of the components with which they work. Only by understanding and applying properties can you achieve the 3D sound such as you can get with TruFi. I now believe that TruFi also has limitations and my early experiments to reveal the incompleteness of TruFi as it presently is shaped, understood, and implemented are yielding results which I expect to share with this group sometime soon next year!
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?

Pretty shocked no one has picked up these yet; https://www.audiogon.com/listings/monitors-loudspeakers-2017-12-16-speakers Audio Note speakers reproduce piano amazingly well, are easy to drive, and sound great overall. The AN-E/Spe in that ad for $3k are a flat out steal, I have AN-J’s which are smaller and also do piano well a great value new around $5k plus stands. No affiliation with the seller just a AN fan. |
