"Book shelf" speakers put on speaker stands = less bass??

Get a couple bags of lead shot and place this on the stands somewhere and on the speakers to see if it makes a difference. There are 2 bags per Mid panel on mine for coupling.

Note, we still have no response as to why real instruments in the home don't require "bass compensation" - but audio systems do ...

 

Ah, the bizarre world of the audiophile - ya gotta chuckle, now and again, 😁.

The room response to the notes being played on the piano are still being effected. Many musicians will attest that the same performance played in a concert hall will sound great, where as the same songs will sound terrible in a gymnasium. Just because you don't hear the room boundary's interference in your home, does not mean they don't exist. Why do you thing concert halls are engineered a specific way??

 Thinking that just because the piano is plopped in the room, and what you hear is accurate is incorrect.

Yes, there will be a room response - but for the vast majority of rooms the acoustics will be perfectly adequate, for hearing the instruments ... when was the last time someone buying a piano told, that if you don't do a lot to the room to "improve it", that the piano won't sound right?

Read the link. Adequate for you, but not so for a musician who wants the best. The piano sounds accurate in a room because it "is" the reference. The replay from your disk has no reference to you. You were never there during the mix. It's only a piano sound to us because it sounds like one.

If there was a room node at B1 with the piano playing that note in your room, what do you think might happen Frank??

This is why a piano is less likely to hit a pure room resonance than a stereo speaker, it is effectively generating the same effect as a subwoofer swarm.

I was looking for a dispersion pattern of the piano vs a speaker to help illustrate the interaction.
