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 l/r 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.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

Steinway Sons Model A

  • Positioning: Entry-level line, designed for affordability and compactness.
  • Description: Features a straightforward digital design that offers clear sound reproduction ideal for small rooms and tight budgets. Compared to the more advanced products in the lineup, provides basic functionality without the extended processing capabilities seen in Models B, C, LS Concert, and D.

Steinway Sons Model B

  • Positioning: Mid-tier option blending balanced costs with reliable performance.
  • Description: Incorporates enhanced circuitry and improved soundstage technology that deliver a richer listening experience for medium-sized setups. When compared to Model A and the higher-end options, adds better digital control and expanded frequency response.

Steinway Sons Model C MK II

  • Positioning: Mid-high product offering refined performance for dedicated enthusiasts.
  • Description: Introduces an upgraded digital-to-analog conversion system and advanced processing that yield a more detailed and dynamic sound. Relative to Models A and B, its extended dynamic range and sound staging approach those seen in the top-tier LS Concert and Model D.

Steinway Sons LS Concert

  • Positioning: High-end solution aimed at larger spaces and professional settings.
  • Description: Offers cutting-edge audio processing and exceptional build quality that create an expansive sound field and precise imaging suitable for larger rooms and demanding setups. In contrast with the lower-tier systems, its enhanced connectivity and advanced digital performance set it apart, yet it is less feature-saturated than the flagship Model D.

Steinway Sons Model D

  • Description: Integrates groundbreaking digital circuitry and audio processing innovations to deliver ultra-precise sound reproduction with an exceptionally wide soundstage for professional-grade applications.

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.
