"The rendition of the piano is completely natural sounding like a real piano in your room with a sense of size that stereo can’t deliver. All of the natural reverb and reflections you would hear in the hall are presented in your space. [...] The performance by Mr. Van Poucke is wonderful and judging from the enthusiastic applause, the audience agrees."
