Disklavier

I know I'd seen that the Disklavier had a couple of speakers attached 
to the underside but now I don't see them advertised on the Yamaha 
site anynore. They mention that you can add your own external 
amplified speakers when playing back a piano/ensemble. Does anyone 
know if they have dropped the speaker system?
Thanks, Park

I forgot to mention that I am looking at the DC7a Pro. Come to think 
about it, I don't remember ever seeing speakers advertised on the Pro 
model. Is this true? Thanks again.

It does not sound like you get speakers on the Pro model. The web site 
didn't even mention how the Pro might record with the new Piano Smart, or if 
it works with Piano Smart at all.

The Pro models do a more accurate job of recording key and pedal data, and 
you pay big bucks for that.  If you are not going to do professional quality 
piano recordings, perhaps the regular DC7A with both speakers and Piano 
Smart capability would do.  Personally, I can't tell the difference between 
recordings made on a Pro or a regular Disklavier.  Unless the playback is 
also on a Pro, I don't think you hear any of that XP stuff anyway.  I sort 
of recall that problem arising about the files from the e-competition.

Again, the question comes down to how you plan to use the instrument.  For 
what these things cost, you might want to visit a showroom and try them both 
before making your decision.

I check on this. The Pro model pianos do not come with speakers. The other 
Mark III or "A" model grands do come with speakers.
