Mellow speakers for a digital piano
I have been trying to get my digital piano to sound more mellow instead of so sharp / tinny.
What I have been using are Focal CMS40 powered monitors and JBL LSR 305 powered monitors.
I get a nice clear sound but it is too sharp, yet. I have tried EQ boxes and even that does not do it for me.
I hear piano sounds (internet) from various sources and I long for that sound from my piano.
I wish to find something I can put on a stand behind my piano and at ear level.
I have read things on this site that are encouraging but have no idea if what someone else likes is what I would like.
Any thoughts ?

I am willing to spend for the right solution ..... Are you saying that these will give me the "Warmth" of the Wharfedale option ? https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=kefls50&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=7772... |
How would this be for an amplifier ? https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-A-9010-Integrated-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00SY20TE8/ref=pd_sim_23_6?_encod... |
Now here is another option on Amazon ( I like amazon ... LOL). These are better or would this be overkill for a digital piano ? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D3JUERS/ref=dra_a_rv_bb_hn_xx_P1250_1000?tag=dradisplay-20&ascsubta... |
Here is an amplifier that I would be willing to purchase. https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-A-9010-Integrated-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B009JBZFVK/ref=pd_sim_23_3?_encod... Would that be sufficient with the Wharfedale's ? |
ok .... I am about ready to pull the trigger on the diamond 225 and the Yamaha amplifier you recommend. However ..... I spoke with a consultant at MD and he could not recommend using the speakers meant for stereo use to be used with musical instruments for fear of blowing up the amp/speaker. I mentioned that it would only be for home use. Any response to that ? |
atmosphere: Thank you for the response. I am not very knowledgeable with this stuff so I need more specifics. Tube Amp ? Got one in mind ? Easy to drive ? Anything in mind ? Here is a review site. One of these ? https://www.bestreviews.guide/tube-amplifiers?origin=bing&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&... |
I am now considering ..... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DRUDO7G/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1V014... or this ... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012CSK30E/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B012CSK30E&pd_rd_wg=... (More expensive = better ?) and 2 of these .... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D3JUDXS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AOZWLI... Welcome Yays or Nays .... and alternate suggestions .... Thanks |
Funny you should mention "infinite options" ..... I was just going to respond about the various options now beginning to sound like there is no reliable option ... only what various users have experienced and were happy with. I absolutely appreciate any and all responses .... that is what I came here for .... but I am now reluctant to dive in to any one of them as it sounds like it may not give me that "final solution" I am striving for. So ... now I have decided to cut my losses and take a partial bit of advice from one of the responders. I will order a small mixer and put it in the sound chain I already have and see what happens. This mixer ... https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Mix5 Maybe I can shape the sound enough to get out of this funk. Thanks for all the help. Any more responses are still welcome. I will read them and add them to my list of "options for later" as this problem never seems to go away for good. |
