Chess, I'd suspect that the Steinways would be adequate, especially for solo piano, but many true audiophiles would prefer an "upgrade", such as these .

I'd rather buy a small home. However, from JohnK's list, these are my favorite. I understand they have them new-fangled surrounds made of foam!

Yeah, those were the ones that stood out for me, too. Such, um, pretty speakers...

Anyone else think that those million dollar ones look obscenely out of place in that (admittedly, rather overdone) room? Not to mention they look like a speaker stack from a concert with a little bit of veneer around them.
I'm in the wrong business. I suggest Axiom start making enormous speakers with lots of drivers and fiddly bits, maybe some sharp edges sticking out. Then they can charge whatever they want for them, apparently.

Joe, I'm greatly attracted by these for the reason that I've noticed a lack of presence in the tubas and french horns on some of my classical recordings. The Sphaerons certainly would appear to be able to remedy the situation, but although I could handle the $325K, it's a little more than I was really thinking of spending.
