Very nice..first time I've heard Austrian Grand. I already have the Ravenscroft and by comparing them I hear more resonance and musicality in the Ravenscroft, so this would still be my 1st choice. However, hearing without comparing, I like both very much and would take either.
Nice playing. The ravescroft seems like it has a more pronounced and characterful midrange. AG seesm a bit different in how it's presented in the stereo field as well but can't quite put my finger on it. Could be the volume discrepancy. It's currently on sale as part of a bundle where you get some other great stuff from UVI for $89. Hmmmm
The ravenscroft sound more close miked I'd say, with more pronounced midrange, definitely. To me, AG a little more realistic and pleasant to ears, less "bombastic". The ravenscroft here doesn't sound quite like a hearing a real piano in a real room.
