Unless that Dynaudio "woofer" is constructed like a Sunfire subwoofer driver (i.e., huge excursion capability), I still believe it is just too small to recreate piano notes properly.And:
Just out of curiosity, why is it that cheaper CD players/transports always supposedly sound overly bright, "tizzy", or harsh? How come they never sound bloated, overly thick, warm, etc.?
Ever listened to studio monitors? I have, and they ARE quite bright sounding: sparkling highs, quite foward midrange & quick/tight bass. And many use horn-loaded drivers. Very articulate sounding. You can just about hear everything right and wrong with a recording. They have to do this--the recording engineer and musicians need to hear exactly what is being recorded before signing off on that recording.
Yet I continue to encounter supposedly "accurate" (and very expensive) speakers with depressed highs and a generally dull sonic presentation. Hmmmm.
And what's strange is that those studio monitors--using advanced drivers, rock-solid cabinets and built-in amplifiers--cost much less than most "hi-end" loudspeakers of similar size.
Something weird is happening in The Land of High-End Audio, and it seems rather suspicious..................
