The really serious piano players I know either ignore it or buy a different piano. I have NEVER worked with a pianist that tried to make a piano something it currently wasn't. I think that when you are obcessed with your playing there are no synapses in your brain available for audio analysis.

I think Romy, that you once accused musicians of hearing differently because they hear what they would do, not what is really happening. Applies here too! 

Hm, I can’t imagine that someone would ignore or buy a different piano for THAT reasons.  The pianos does what it does. The room acoustics does what it does to piano. From all of that perspectives the result it fine.  The lid is a variable that greatly changes the piano balance in this room. Should I blame piano or to blame the room? If to presume that piano and room are invariable constants in this equation and with one of other lid position the equation produces an acceptable result then I think I clearly need to learn how to deal with variable in this game. 
 
If I lover the lid just to clear a few inches then from the piano then I have “some” bass gain and there is no MF reflections from the open lid. However, the full bass bloom of this piano and in this location I get what the lit at least 30% opened. As the id goes up the MF/HF reflection from the lid begin to dominate the room. I do think that in this situation to put some diffuser at the bottom of the lid sounds reasonable to me. I need to admit that I never saw people do it and I very much sound like in idiots to musicians. What however I do know that what I hear is not fantasies.
