What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

For music and movie lovers The Model M has extraordinarily high-quality midrange drivers and an AMT tweeter, providing outstanding sound quality. Together with a left and right Steinway woofer, the sound performance from this in-wall / on-wall speaker is on-par with the very best floor standing high-end audio loudspeakers. In combination with large Steinway front speakers, the Model M also keeps the sound quality level adequately high used for the center and surround channels.
Strong metal cabinet The Model M speaker comes in a discrete matte lacquer. It is also offered in a high gloss black piano lacquer with gold accents, and it can be customized to any color. The cabinet is 100% aluminum, employing internal bracings and a thick front to hold the drive units in place. This dampens resonance, and compared to wood cabinets, the Model M's structure minimizes gross volume. For a sleek finish, an optional grill with black fabric and with or without trim is available.

Our take on the brand
Steinway Lyngdorf is unique for its fully digital amplification technology and RoomPerfect system, which processes signals entirely in the digital domain and automatically adapts sound to any room's acoustics without requiring acoustic treatment. Their systems are built as closed ecosystems with components that must work together, featuring distinctive dipole speakers that emit sound from both front and back to mimic how Steinway pianos interact with a room.
