Many opinions will appear. The Japanese (NOT Chinese) stuff - Yamaha, Kawaii, etc. are all good sounding, with 7ft. being an optimum for 'big bass' on any piano. The asian grands will run anywhere from 3K to 12K for decent used. You may find a European (Bosendorfer) or classic American (Steinway) piano in that range used, but it may be a 'baby'. As far as your question, Yamahas sound brighter than Kawaii, so I like them for most applications, including classical.
