Piano Makers Set Their Sights On High-End Speaker Sales

If you were a little too late to get hold of a set of KEF's $130k MUON speakers, then perhaps the Model D system by Steinway Lyngdorf will cheer you up.  A collaborative project by piano maestros Steinway & Sons and Peter Lyngdorf (of the eponymous audio manufacturer), they're several imposing feet of high-quality speaker coupled with an equally special receiver.

The receiver features Lyngdorf's RoomPerfect acoustic calibration system, which automatically fettles the sound settings so that your system moulds itself to the room you have it in.  That is, of course, assuming that you can afford a place to live after shelling out $150,000 on the Model D set; cheer up, you could always live in the box they came in.
