Your loudspeaker is a bold, brilliant and beautiful realisation of sound delivery. And you have achieved it at a fraction of the price and complexity of a KEF Blade, B&W Nautilus, esoteric open-baffle systems or Tannoy Kingdom Royale. What a breath of fresh of air! I'm a retired concert pianoforte technician and I believe that there are few instruments that rival the piano for sonic beauty. I always maintain that a good hi-fi system will allow me to identify the make and model of piano, its state of tune and preparation and even its individual identity (for example, the Steinway hire fleet maintained for visiting concert pianists all have their unique signature). However, I would need an additional bass 8ve so that the lowest not on the keyboard - 27.5Hz - is accurately represented. This would require a revised cabinet or an additional sub (a sub could go even lower to get the lowest note of an organ and to reveal the 'cloud' of harmonics surrounding the low A on the piano). Here are a couple of suggestions for your music catalogue: Anything by Dick Hyman Any Nat King Cole or Mel Torme accompanied live on stage by George Shearing Even transcriptions of the wonderful 1929 acoustic Brunswick recordings if Fred Astaire singing and tapping with George Gershwin on the piano(Past Perfect has these on CD but there is also a vinyl LP)) and finally a non-piano record with great sound, the Ry Kooder Jazz album.
