In Reply to: RE: Agreed - ;piano is how I test a speaker posted by beppe61 on December 01, 2014 at 13:02:42
My late wife had a Steinway B (7 foot model, one size smaller than a concert grand). I made a number of recordings of this piano over the years. When I got Snell Model A III speakers it was possible to record and playback this piano in our livingroom to a very high degree of accuracy, with one exception: the bottom three notes were not realistic. This wasn't much of a problem, because very little piano music uses these notes. Of course, the Snells were large floor standers, not bookshelfs.

Hi and very interesting
I will try to make some live recordings
I am sure i will find someone with a piano available for some test
That could be very telling.
Today very good digital recorders can be bought with little money.
Thanks for the advice.
Kind regards,

The recordings I made used a pair of AKG C451 microphones and a two track Tandburg tape recorder that ran at 7.5 IPS. You can find these at my web site (studio recordings).
