Roland LX-6 vs Kawai CA701 | Comparison & Demo

[@carlosabundis2746]

Hi , I loved this video. I have the ca701 , but before getting it, I purchased the Roland LX9 and I agree with you , the cabinet was beautiful but the sound was very frustrating, I tried for 5 days to set it up , I moved every possible configuration and I just did not like it, it sounded really bright but the moment you turned the brightness down, the sound was muffled someway IDK, I’m not a super expert, I returned the piano. When the CA701 arrived I connected the piano played it and felt a connection right away, it’s just beautiful, I love it. It had this bright finish at the end on the high register that sounded like jingle bells I was not a fan of, I just changed Piano Artisan to light resonance and that was it. For some reason I did not like ca901 at the store maybe if I had it at home I would have like it but I’m super satisfied with the CA701 it sounds more “real” and organic than the Roland, even when you play at night when it’s silent and you play really soft music you hear the hammers move, it’s very immersive , it does a great job , I’m a fan of the videos , thanks for all the knowledge Ted.

Does your 701 have any issues with cicking keys? Ordered a 701 but heard a lot of the have issues with their keys.

@@JukkaVarjovuori not really, I have not got any problems , it works fine. Maybe someone that plays better and harder than me can have a different experience. But for me it works fine, no clicking sounds.

I have the LX6 and it definetely has issues in the midrange. It's too bright and twangy from c4-c5 but can be alleviated a bit with single note character changes. Roland needs to adjust it or give more piano sounds that are not just variations of the same modelling engine. However, I was in the shop all day switching between these two pianos and went with the LX6 for the keyboard and far superior speakers and cabinet but the Kawai has the better sample sound so it was a tough day for me.

Why would you not play the same piece on each piano for comparison????

[@patrickthompson4169]

What’s the song you played on the Kawai? It’s a nice tune to hear the piano in the video. Excited for my CA701 that I ordered from you guys last week!

Although the Roland LX6 is the intermediate model of the LX series, I think it should be compared rather with the Kawai CA901 because they have more or less the same price

yo tengo el gp3 por dos razones uno el espacio y otro el movimiento del teclado puedo ponerlo en cualquier lugar y me lo puedo llevar donde quiera . para mi es importante para las actuaciones tuve que tratar el sonido en la app . puedes cambiar cualquier nota . una vez echo con detenimiento , es fantastico , y aunque hay muchos videos en youtube no tiene nada que ver con escucharlo en vivo prácticamente es igual al gp6 solo cambia el tamaño y los altavoces que son 2 mas , por lo demás es idéntico . kawai dejando atrás el nv5s que me parece el mejor que tiene kawai aunque para mi es un poco blando . los demás suenan bonito en internet pero en vivo cambia la cosa y no me terminan de convencer ,el tacto es muy blando ,sin embargo roland tiene un tacto perfecto. es importante escuchar en vivo los pianos y así elegir .
