I completely agree... it's ALL subjective. But at least, just this ONCE, all the discussed sounds actually are available for comparison on identical files. Rather than piss and moan about pissing and moaning , the members here FINALLY have an opportunity to actually hear for themselves every single piano discussed. Whereupon they could return and add their voice to the discussion with a little bit more than conjecture (which half the postings seem to be!).

There's NOTHING wrong with opinion... it might lead to a consensus (which is NOT everyone agreeing to the same thing, just a knowledge of what the majority opinion is) for once around here!

At the very least, rather than arguing manufacturer vs. manufacturer in a blind loyalty test, you have an opportunity to download all the files, and set up your OWN "blind taste test' by listening and judging the pianos without a knowledge of which is which (set up your own 'random' playlist, then sit away from the screen and make notes).

FINALLY, a way to find out whether what you post IS how you feel!

I don't expect anyone to agree with me. It's only MY opinion (as is everyone else's too!). But for once, here is the perfect way to ILLUSTRATE that opinion. If I say something sounds brittle, and something else sounds warm, I can then say 'play file x then file y' to show what I'm talking about.

How often, here, do we get the same opportunity..?
