Best speaker/system piano concerts

Without a doubt Halcro 38 (which I have), or 68 for the  power amp plus their 8 or 10 (which I have) for pre. Seldom available 2nd hand ,but WELL worth waiting for. Agreed - ATC, or you could audition some von Schweikerts (from the VR4 upwards). As an aside - do hope your listening room has proper acoustic treatment, (this is a sine qua non !).

Best speaker/system piano concerts

To give the best piano rendition of a real piano that I've heard, you can't beat ESL's, and if you can afford it with a Plasma Super tweeter from 12 or 15khz up, depending on the ESL that's used..

If you’re after utmost accuracy to a live piano... you should consider the ATC’s mentioned above. There is a reason all the pro sound engineers use those speakers in their mastering.

That’s not to say, several others won’t sound great... but... if you’re really after accuracy you may want to follow the pros.

They do sound superb.  Check them out on YouTube and compare them to others there (e.g. Tannoy, B&W, Maggies, etc., etc.) - you'll get a pretty good idea of how they compare, despite the fact you aren't in the same room with them.  You'll be amazed.

And... they’re really not all that expensive, when you consider the most recent versions are powered by dedicated internal ATC amps for each driver. So... for $20,000 you get both the speakers and the amps. The integrated system designed for the utmost in clarity and accuracy.
