Help!!!There are many things I like about my system: soundstage, imaging, detail, sweet treble, smooth, tight bass.
One thing I hate about my system: thin sounding; when I listen to a piano, it sounds like a keyboard, not like a real piano.room:
18 x 30 (living room + dining area together)
hardwood floor with funishing, rugs, plants, no room treatment
speakers out in the open along the long wall(3 ft to the front wall, 5+ ft to the side wall)system:
Pioneer juke box -> mapleshade digital -> B&K AVR 307 -> Kimber PBJ -> Aragon 8002 -> Kimber 4VS -> Dynaudio Contour 1.1
Sub for H/T only; Dynaudio 42s for surround & center
B-P-T power conditioner.Musical preference
Every thing but hard rock & rap, but female vocal & jazz is the stuff I listen to the most.
I’ve listened to 2 speakers that sound like real piano: VMPS RM2 and Gershman Acoustics Opera (?). I noticed both are full range speakers (20Hz – 20KHz)
What should I try to get a fuller sounding system?
