▷▷▷My time with Steinway Lyngdorf at IS Europe

Everyone that have heard of Steinway & Sons knows that it is one of your more superior piano brands. Now I walk through the endless and timeless stands at the IS Europe Exhibition, just soaking up the atmosphere. And all the sudden something looks out of place, or rather, everything else looked out of place. A name that sounded familiar was written in gold above the stand, STEINWAY LYNGDORF. Amazed at what I saw I investigated. Beautiful workmanship, stunning looks, different. (I will give some more detail about the technology in later post) Towering above machine, art and men a like is the Model D, it just looks stunning. There is no grill, rather rope stringed like a harp. Golden work off on the speaker edges, fully digital.

A very busy representative quickly slides my way and suggest I must go to the demo room which they have set up especially for the Steinway Lyngdorf Model D. Not knowing what I will experience I take a relaxed walk to the room. Being greeted by Peter Lyngdorf I entered a room where two majestic speakers just smiles down on me like Zeus will look down on an enemy after he tortured them with a lightning bolt. The room configuration was also very epic as shown in the next picture.

Peter Lyngdorf with Steinway Lyngdorf Model D Stereo System

With selected music I was amazed, in awe, in shock, and still not sure what is going on. Why would you pay 180 000+ Euro's for this stereo set-up. Well, because it is just that good, it is phenomenal! It is blasting with precision, it is wildy tamed, it captures the soul of music, the heart of the voice, I can not explain. Something so beautiful (and currently out of my budget) that gives even more beautiful music back to my ears. What have I missed! With piano pieces (and like Peter Lyngdorf noted, a Steinway & Sons piano) the music is right here before, in the middle, with a not in the speaker, here in the middle of the room, playing piano for you, not the speaker, for you. When you close your eyes you can see the pianist passion as he rolls his fingers over the keys. Stunning, stunning STUNNING!!! He played a little bit of rock, perfect, all the instruments accurately and equally distributed all over yet in the right direction.

Steinway Lyngdorf Model D

My ears, my body, my soul was in heaven (well, as close as I have ever been). Clearly Steinway Lyngdorf's Model D is making a statement, if you have the money to buy the best, buy me! What a treat, what a speaker.

At no time did I question what I was hearing, all the music and sounds was given to me in its natural form. Few will deny that this is one of the best stereo configurations on the market. It is a huge name in music Steinway & Sons and a pioneer in Hi-Fi/ Home Theatre Peter Lyngdorf combining its influence into one speaker

After the demo with Peter Lyngdorf we just moved around some curtain to another area where Steinway Lyngdorf were show casing their S-Series Home Theatre system. Some David Foster was played (Michael Bubble to be more specific), and then some movies, and then some shooting. Well...I think they made the mistake by playing the Model D first, ears being subjected to such brilliancy and then going down to small speaker Home Theatre, it just did not impress as much, though good, I was still in a dream world of what was going on just around the corner where the real speakers are screaming my name. I hope I will again get the opportunity to listen to the S-Series Home Theatre set up, I could not truly sit down and appreciate it at that moment.
