Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?

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?

Khrys, read this - http://www.apogeespeakers.info/scintilla.htm - and write a report. Hand it in on Monday. Thank you very much.

Ohnwy61 maybe Eldartford is on to something here. I believe that good horns produce horn sounds closer to real horns. The piano with planers, I'm not sure about that but his case does warrant investigation. Did you know that Jud Barber of Joule Electra uses spruce in his "musicwood" amps to maybe capture the resonance of the spruce wood of real string instruments? Of course you know by now that nothing can be ruled out in audio especially coming from such a skeptic as Eldartford.

Eldardtford: Cant go along with your theory on this one. Piano's have strings, so do Violins( I used to appraise and still play em), and what makes the sounds coming from the Violins is also the "wood" just like the soundboard of a piano. The bridge attached to the strings are coupled to the main body of the Violin. THe wood is what makes the sound resonations on the body of a violin, not the strings themselves. This being the case debunks your theory. I dont know of ANY transducer in the intricate shape of a violin. Besides its been widely accepted that dynamic drivers are best at reproducing the dynamics and harmonics of a piano.
