If you're in the US, you can call Sweetwater and get pretty good advice (and it's free) from their customer service department. I've had good luck with my Yamaha powered studio monitors. http://www.sweetwater.com/

Daniel, that's exactly the same thing my husband said. If we are paying this much for a piano, spend a few hundred more and get the next step up. For me, the difference between the 440 and the 430 was only $300 though, so it was not much more to go

Hi Alma, Pleyel have gone out of business several times, and for a while Schimmel actually made Pleyel. Of course, they were Schimmel pianos with the Pleyel name, so they were actually quite good. These days I believe that they are a fully hand bui
