RE: are piano notes heard through a subwoofer

> The test for me is to go into an adjoining room and decide if it sounds like a piano is in the room.

I've done this and I know what you mean, but I'm not sure it proves anything. I want my speakers to sound like a piano when I'm sitting in my listening chair in from of my speakers. The Thiels impress me more this way than any other speaker I've owned and I think it is mostly due to their point source, linear phase midrange/tweeter. As far as deep bass is concerned, the low notes on a piano do exhibit much greater realism with my subwoofer engaged rather than turned off. Piano is one instrument that sounds awesome on the Thiels in conjunction with a subwoofer.
