Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?

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.

Muralman: Dipoles dont "color" the sound as much? You got some scientific evidence to back this up? Ive never heard this claim before. Dipoles have alot of drawbacks that easyily "color" the sound in their own way. Absolutely rediculous this claim.

Violins and pianos and all other instruments are designed to use the physical body to "color" and "tone" the sound yes. But speaker boxes are disgned in just the OPPOSITE way to be inert and to NOT RESONATE. Put your hand on a violin when it plays and you can feel the vibrations very distinctly,just like with a piano, it was designed that way. Put your hand on a competently designed speaker(Like my set of Revels)and you dont feel any resonation. Exactly the opposite in nature.

Ritteri...Ok, if you don't like my theory about the titanium tweeter in the little B&W 550 speakers, give me another theory of why these little boxes reproduce solo violin better than most megabuck systems, and (by the way) my own MG1.6. (And don't forget, you are not the only one who plays a violin).
