RE: Agreed - ;piano is how I test a speaker

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.
