You don’t have to lay an egg to know if it tastes good, Stravinsky. Let that put to rest any notion of your sublime “musician’s ears” (I added the apostrophe for you).i have Ares ll and find it to be very natural sounding. i have played in orchestras. the timbre of instruments are spot on imho. i have played just about every major Grand in the world. the weight and authority and harmonic decay of the piano is very convincing. i realize that not everyone has a musicians ears. my musical journey started at a very young age however and was encouraged by a parents who where music lovers.
And as a pianist myself, although I may possess a few skills to play one, I’m well aware that I know very little about how to design one. And no matter how skilled I was, I wouldn’t dare make the claim that I had “played just about every major Grand in the world” without making my nose light up so folks could line up taking turns punching it.
Look up “ultracrepidarian”—it means the tendency of some highly educated individuals in one field of study to presume that the they are qualified to challenge the accepted tenets of another field with some sort of authority.
Or at minimum, please be mindful of the effects of someone trained to play music tediously pontificating to an audience trained in the science of music players.
