Aside from the investment in the speakers and the associated gear, you need to make sure the speakers are set up properly in the room and the room acoustics are properly selected. As Wolf said, many "good" systems can reproduce the piano but in my experience, recreating the soundstage that can accurately reflect the size and the location of the piano is a bigger challenge. Furthermore, the "sound" of piano can vary significantly depending on how its recorded, live or in the studio, and more specifically where the microphone(s) are placed. You'll find on the same recording, some speakers push the piano to the back of the soundstage and others bring it to the front. With that sort of cash layout, you just need to listen to different systems and decide which one resembles the "real" sound of piano better than others, in our room and to your ears. My 2 cents.
Best speaker/system piano concerts
Hi,
I enjoy many type of music but am a big fan of piano concerts. I’ve been to Hifi shows before but often find the music that they are playing not to my taste.
Does anyone have recommendations for a speaker and amplifier that would be great to reproduce big piano plays realistically? I don’t think it’s easy for a system to have the speed and weight that the piano produces.
Would say speakers that are around 20-25k second hand and amps of 10-15k used
Looking forward to your suggestions.
