I'm convinced the BK-9 can sound very good as th BK-7m already does in most sound categories. But I wonder why there is so much bashing in Youtube comments. Something is definitely wrong with many official/ dealer demos of the BK-9.
Some of the demos I've seen I think are quite good. I haven't read the bashing comments but I'm sure they're from people who've never played one. The only way to know is to play one for an extended time. The drums, basses and pianos and styles alone are worth it. Then theres a ton of other stuff to keep you busy for a long time. Its light yet feels nice and solid on the stand and I really can't imagine what is missing for a working pro.
