Mellow speakers for a digital piano
Here is an amplifier that I would be willing to purchase. https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-A-9010-Integrated-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B009JBZFVK/ref=pd_sim_23_3?_encod... Would that be sufficient with the Wharfedale's ? |
I'd go with this: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-S801SL-Natural-Integrated-Amplifier/dp/B00N30M2DW I have yet to encounter another brand that produces as realistic piano tones. That's where these amps excel. |
ok .... I am about ready to pull the trigger on the diamond 225 and the Yamaha amplifier you recommend. However ..... I spoke with a consultant at MD and he could not recommend using the speakers meant for stereo use to be used with musical instruments for fear of blowing up the amp/speaker. I mentioned that it would only be for home use. Any response to that ? |
A lot depends on what you are planning. If you are playing only at home, stereo speakers are fine. If you plan to play in a band or on stage, pro audio speakers and amp(s) are required as you will be playing considerably louder (and likely less concerned about the overall sound, so long as its undistorted, has the bandwidth and is loud enough). You might consider a tube amp if you plan to use the piano only at home. That could easily take the sharpness out of the high end without loosing any highs (this being that often sharpness is an artifact of distortion of a kind that is common in solid state amps). Tube amps are usually best used with speakers that are fairly easy to drive- 90db+ sensitivity and 8 ohms or more, particularly in the bass region. |
atmosphere: Thank you for the response. I am not very knowledgeable with this stuff so I need more specifics. Tube Amp ? Got one in mind ? Easy to drive ? Anything in mind ? Here is a review site. One of these ? https://www.bestreviews.guide/tube-amplifiers?origin=bing&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&... |
