These should fix the lack of response when playing softly in what was otherwise an excellent digital piano action:
- IMPROVED: Responsive Hammer III keyboard action with redesigned key switches
- IMPROVED: Enhanced Touch Curve setting with 10 selectable touch presets
These should improve on the ES8's already great piano sounds and the audio quality overall:
- IMPROVED: Improved acoustic piano sounds and updated Virtual Technician parameters
- NEW: Updated control panel with 4-band EQ faders
- NEW: Motherboard developed in partnership with Onkyo for improved tonal clarity
If it sounds even close to the CA99 with headphones, I'll buy it on the default preset alone.
I like the increased power output and redesigned speaker enclosures but I think Kawai may still lag in this area. A Bluetooth subwoofer would help (of course that would require Bluetooth audio but that's another discussion).
The ES8 held up remarkably well in recent comparisons with much newer digitals. Thats why the ES920 is on my short list but I still have to get my hands on one.
