Jarek, you specifically mentioned Baroque music, and if you are getting acceptable harpsichord from well-mic'd recordings, then very good for you, as this augers well. They aren't pianos, for sure, but can make quite a wide range of sounds and textures for all that. It seems to mostly depend on what is most important to you (or anyone...) in terms of cues. Like I said earlier, developing system strengths is at least as important as solving system problems. Depending on the instrument, the musician, and the recording, the harpsichord's "flat dynamic range" can be "opened up" , paralleling what we aim for with "limited dynamics" systems. To my ears, most systems that are keyed to "dynamics" lack sufficient Tone and Color, and who wants that?
Best regards,
