刚才我去外国谋论坛翻了下帖子,看到一个非常不错的评测,复制如下供参考:
Joining the conversation because I had the opportunity yesterday to try out Yamaha N1, N2 and N3x as well as CLP-685, Roland LX-17 and Kawai CS11 at Bauer Music, (www.bauer-music.de) located just outside of Frankfurt. Btw, great store with extremely versed staff, and, if you are looking for virtually all dps on the market, the right address for DE and AT. For all others, all instruments can be listened to on their website, which is a nice gadget, even though every instrument should ofc be tried out live.
Executive summary: IMHO, for the category dp, up to or roundabout EUR 4,000, the CS11 is the right dp to at least consider, if not purchase. The N-series (digital mini-grands) are ok, but for that kind of money, go for something else.
Details with focus on the IMHO two most important categories: 1. touch/feel and 2. sound, all from my perspective and regardless of manufacturer's specs:
With almost 25 years of playing the piano, both classical (Rachmaninov, Chopin) and Jazz (mainly Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum), I was looking for a good dp reproducing a grand piano feeling, as I have almost exclusively played on such instruments. Currently, however, my working hours do not allow for acoustic piano playing and a silent grand piano is momentarily to expensive, as I am still an associate and not a partner in the law firm I work at ;-).
1. Touch/feel:
Roland LX-17: feels and plays like a digital piano, nowhere near clp-685 and/or cs11 (no counterweight could be felt, no escapement action, mediocre key quality (full plastic), did not respond well at all to fast, repetitive notes like played in Grande Valse Brillante or Moszkowski etudes).
Yamaha CLP-685: I had high hopes because CLP-675 had a fairly nice action and I hoped for an improvement. In fact, I went to Bauer in order to confirm my preference for Yamaha and buy a clp-685. However: ok action, but still feels a bit artificial. Has a very mechanical, hard feel to it and does not really replicate a grand piano action, not even Yamaha's own grand pianos, which are quite good starting with C2X (ok, have to be toned down a bit because sometimes too bright but that is another topic). It feels more like an upright piano with artificial escapement built into it. Did however respond well to fast, repetitive notes (songs described above).
Kawai CS11: almost authentic grand piano action, albeit a bit soft at first. Can however be corrected with the Virtual Engineer, i.e. setting it to heavy will allow you more control in pp or ppp situations. Same correction undertakings with clp-685 (hard level) did not bring any noticeable differences. Very good response to repetitive, fast notes and exquisite feel to it, as it is the only one made entirely of wood and also has noticeably the longest keys and thus pivot point.
2. Sound:
Roland LX-17: fairly digital, however clear.
Yamaha CLP-685: unbalanced, too strong bass (can be tweaked however by augmenting brightness of overall sound, although there is no real equalizer function on this dp. Could probably be solved if you tone down your left hand a bit, which I am not really used too due to the repertoire I play, but could adjust to if necessary) and under-powered, albeit clear middles and highs. However good sampling on the CFX sound, Bösendorfer sound more a marketing trick than an actual serious sound (muffled, distorted, not at all like an actual Bösendorfer, bass here too weak, paradoxically. Was in Vienna for a client meeting last week and spent an hour in the Bösendorfer store at Canovagasse 4 / Bösendorferstraße 12 revelling in that amazing sound, so I have a fairly fresh, although subjective comparison sample), as the YouTube videos showcasing the Bösendorfer sound seem to have been heavily improved. Better headphone sound than Kawai though, binaural sampling kicking in here.
Kawai CS11: most natural sound, although only on the Shigeru Kawai sound, the other grand pianos sounding a bit muffled/bizarre. Worse headphone sound than Yamaha though.
Bottom line: I think I will purchase the CS11, as it is the overall better grand piano key action simulation IMHO, if you are ok with the Shigeru Kawai sound, which lacks a bit of personality, but nevertheless delivers a solid grand piano performance over the entire 88 keys.
Best
