Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?

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.

Dynamics arguable, but harmonics?

Ritteri...It's a bit hard to follow your logic. Your analogy to a violin, where the wood body is what makes the sound, is one that I might use to explain the function of the sound board in a piano.

Your preference for cone drivers in boxes is just your opinion. Others may disagree.

The idea of installing a small driver in an actual violin body has long interested me, but I haven't got around to doing it yet. Do you have any spare old violins kicking around?

And Tubegroover...I may be a "skeptic" but after rendering my opinion I often go away quietly and do some experimentation. A "crackpot" idea sometimes leads to something good, even if the original idea isn't. My "skinny wire for tweeters" biwire scheme is an example...IMHO.

The logic is that you state the strings make the sound for a Violin and state that a metal dome tweeter most resembles a "string". But the strings dont make the sound on a Violin, the wooden body does.

Ritteri, the strings do make the sound. The vented hollow cavity magnifies the sound of the string, adding it's own colorations. That is why violas have heavier strings than do violins.

Likewise, the box of a dynamic speaker introduces it's own colorations to the playback. The dipoles don't nearly as much. That is why we dipole lovers say our speakers offer more information on the real event.
