Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Buy a piano........

Sorry, couldn't help giving my cheap one shot.

On a serious note, the piano is a difficult instrument to reproduce becuase it is a bright sounding instrument. A good speaker has to sound bright when the recording is bright and none at all when the recording dosen't call for it. I have not found any cone speaker that can do the above mentioned task very well. It is either one or the other. I did come across a ribbon speaker by VMPS that could do that quite well. In fact it was frighteningly accurate. It was the RM40 which cost about $5,000. The lower cost and smaller RM30 would be a good option to consider if the RM40 is out of your price range. It has sonic properties close to the RM40. The going price new is $3880. You could pick a good used one on Audiogon that would be within your price range.
