Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?

Frogman you are a good sport and I do appreciate your perspective. I literally tried for years to mate various subs with speakers whose midrange was glorious but low end insufficient. Perhaps the most entertaining combo I devised was ML CLSs with binaural Entecs. The sound was spectacular regardless of the recording which certainly impressed people but quickly became aurally tedious. I tried AP Virgos with a mono Minos and found that the lower the setting of the Minos the better I liked the music and once when my maid unplugged the Minos I listened for days congratulating myself on how well I had dialed it in until I discovered the plug on the floor! Thus began my disaffection with these things. With all due respect I find them to be low frequency reverb devices and little more. Try putting 0.05 msec delay between your R/L mains and see how that "recreates" the concert hall feeling. YMMV and I certainly understand your desire to augment the Stax which I agree is an awesome midrange mindblower. However there is no subwoofer on the planet that I have found to improve the sound of my W/P 7s, even Wilson's own WatchDog or Pow Wow. But I have certainly found a few that will "blow away" my guests and any semblance of real music as well. I've conceded the match but truly respect that you have take up the banner.

Good listening and Happy Thanksgiving to all, indeed (unless you're Canadian, of course).

Pulling the subwoofer topic back into the main discussion, I do believe it is an advantage to have all frequencies expressed by the same driver type. The Scintilla can do all the frequencies required, without the aid of a sub. It also, as I have noted before, has just about the lightest unencumbered drivers ever devised. That leads to ultra fast recoveries, with no smearing. The marvelous frequency complexities inherent in a grand piano are fully expressed in life like manner.

The Scintillas commercial success speaks for itself, don't you think?

A casual look into a piano will reveal many stings that get hit by felt hammers to produce sound. One might think that the sound source is the strings. Actually, behind the strings, and below them in a grand piano is a sound board. This is a large area of thin wood, and its name indicates its purpose. The tonal quality of the instrument depends very much on the quality and condition of this wood. Note that the sound board resembles a planar loudspeaker.

I have noted that loudspeaker fidelity is often improved when the loudspeaker resembles the instrument in some way. This is most obvious with trumpet reproduced by a horn driver. I have also noted that the titanium tweeter in a small B&W speaker that I have makes violins (with metal A and E strings) sound very real. So, according to my theory, planar speakers have a head start in reproducing piano.

Eldartford, you can't be serious?
