advice - making the piano sound good ... ?

I just got, at a good price, MOTU Symphonic and I read a few reviews about it knowing it had issues but they mentioned a pretty good piano sample set.

 

Anyway, I loaded it up and finally got it working in Sonar...

I find that the piano sounds around middle C (up to an octave below and octave above that) are not to my liking. In fact, they sound a bit like a toy piano. Maybe it's my speaker or something(?), but I'm just not happy with them.

Outside that range, the lower end and high end they sound really nice, but its just that mid range where it sounds a bit muddy and toyish.

 

Even, I like the Cakewalk-TTS1 that came free with Sonar better at this point in time!!

 

Is there anything I can tweak that would make it sound better?

 

Sorry if this sounds a bit newbie, but I'm learning...

 

thanks,,

I have found out in the course of playing that if I am more gentle with the keys, then the MSI sounds better.

I can't quite hit them in the same was as with Cakewalk TTS1.

Also, it sounds better through my headphones than my speaker.

Maybe that frequencey range my speaker is not the best at reproducing?
