July 7, 2011 - Sound+Vision: “I was blown away by what I heard”
I have a confession to make: Often when I see a new über-expensive high-end audio product, I think, “It’s cool, but who would actually buy this?” I sure didn’t feel that way when I got a demo of the new Steinway Lyngdorf S-series at the company’s showroom in Los Angeles’ Pacific Design Center.

The sound was neutral and natural—when Lyngdorf played the Bob Marley classic “Jammin’,” Marley’s vocal sounded remarkably clear and perfectly imaged between the two speakers, while the background vocals wrapped around me, seeming to come from the sides of the room.
