Maybe the room doesn't benefit from Stereo but Keyboards sure do! Stereo samples need stereo speakers to sound optimum, period. Even if you're pleased with your results that is only half of the equation. The other half is the audience that is listening to you. If you can still pack em' in with one PAS then more power to you UD. Of course if your playing in Bars you realize that most of the patrons are probably tanked and couldn't tell the difference anyway, having their audio perception off kilter because of their being plastered. Plus you could sing to them with a Radio Shack year end clearance 75% off Microphone (real cheapie) and they'd probably still think you sounded every bit as good as Michael McDonald. That's just Bars though. If your playing in other venues then that would be the true test in keeping them coming back with one PAS or not. Plus if you're not using auto-accompaniment I could see where your sound wouldn't be that big of a deal except your piano samples that are in stereo. If you've got mono sampled piano[s] on the KN7K and you're not using auto-accompaniment then you're in like Flynn and the sound emanating from the PAS should suffice. Plus like you said the KN7K has "Stereo" speakers too that put out quite a bit of volume that your audience no doubts hears also.

Best regards,
Mike
