Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?

Muralman, I now understand your passion for the Scintillas. Whatever part of the "Ground Hog Day" loop you and the Apogee Corporation are trapped in I am so glad that it allows you to revel in obsolescence.
Frogman, you are right on. Physics and mathematics defy the appeal of the Quads but they sound most like a piano to me too.
As to frequency response I can only say GET REAL. Name me a recording with a 20 Hz tone, please.

Although people know Im bull headed about being a big fan of dynamics speakers, Planers,esls etc do come in handy in certain circumstances. For "easy listening" at low volumes I do have a place in my heart for my ML prodigies, though they are nothing compared to the Salon's.

Harbeth Studio 40's: Very nice! =)

Khrys, you obviously do not understand. ;-)

A recording with a 20hz tone? Dr. Dre's Chronic Album for one. There are alot of popular rap albums with loads of synthesized bass notes that go well below 40hz, too many to list.

311's Music album is another great example. Its loaded with alot of harmonic sweeps from 20-40hz too that blend with the bass guitarists melodies.

Ritteri...I'm glad that you endorse boosting 20-80 Hz by several dB, because that is what I usually do after geting the system flat. But I always felt guilty about it...like eating too much ice cream. I also use the tweeter padding resistors with my Maggies, to roll off the high end, and that gets flac also.

Organ music and bass drums do get down to the 20Hz range, no argument about that. It's just that organs and bass drums are a tiny fraction of the music I listen to. I don't do rock/pop, but I do know that it always sounds like it has a lot of bass content. However, this music is customarily presented via ProSound loudspeakers, that do not claim response below 30 Hz.

I have a CD of a German "um-pa" band with many tubas. When I find that disk I will make a point of checking for SW activity. I also have an LP of the Dukes of Dixieland which sounds as of it has a lot of bass, but to my surprise it really is not that low in frequency.
