I have a slightly different take on the ST Grand Piano Home's.
At a Sound Advice recently, the rep demo'd the SF Grand Piano and two Martin Logans, one was the Ascent and the model directly above it in the ML lineup.
The rep played a Jazz and Acoustic vocal cd on all three - I walked away with the impression that the Grand Piano Home's were not in the same league as the ML's. I have no idea how the SF GP's are priced in relation to the ML's, but I was not favorably impressed with the Grand's in this particular go-round.
The rep also played the same music on the model above the Grand Piano's and they were extremely smooth, once again, I can't remember the price.
I am not denegrating the SF GP's in any way, just my opinion based on my 51 yr old ears.
