"The sound:
After the Pianocraft (810) speakers were seated on the Mission Stance, filled with gravel, decoupled by 4 absorbers each, connected by 2,5mm². to the amplifier, which receives its signals through the In-Acoustics Rhodes, the first test could begin.
Several hours, performers and silver discs later, we can only report positive results. The sound seems full, balanced over the entire frequency range and in no way sterile or exhausting. I suspect a minimal boost in frequencies around 100 Hz. This would explain the "tonal size" of these rather compact speakers, but this is not noticeable in a negative way, quite the opposite. The sound is undistorted and clear and the question arises why my previous setup had to be so expensive. In direct comparison with the Argenta, an opponent of the Pianocraft could claim that the latter seems a bit more cloudy or lacks resolution, but in my opinion this is not the case: Details are not obscured, they are just not brought to the fore "by force". The stage is wide and extends beyond the speakers, from which the music detaches well. The localization of instruments is good, the depth is amazing.
Performers and tracks I used were Sara K., Patricia Barbeur, Linkin Park, a CD by Dynaudio, Cher, Phil Collins, Frank Sinatra and a recent mixtape by DJ Teddy-O and a few others."
