One thing though, and this from a layman having the nerve to express his
opinion in this erudite Newsgroup, I have some very knowledgeable
friends connected with the Piano and they have always maintained that
its the hardest instrument to record. If this is so and the Bosendorfer
is reputably so good at it then surely it means its no mean reproducer
of orchestral music etc. ?

It could just mean the cabinets use very good wood!

Okay, they have special cabinets with "sound boards," which does sound
pianistic. I don't know anything about the designer, but it seems he
goes against the conventional wisdom of dampening cabinet resonances.

I would be interested in your comments on this. Bye the way, I won't be
able to try them out until the end of next week after which I will, if I
may, report back here.

Quads sound great with well-recorded piano music (no resonances!) but
they might be at a disadvantage in a large room.
