One more idea about speakers.

A few years ago when I first got my PSR2000 my wife who also plays and worked at the organ store and I went to try speakers.

The assumption that the bigger the speaker the better. I was always told one needed a 15" speaker for keyboards.

What we found was that 10" speakers of any brand sounded the best. There was one exception the Roland KC500 sounded super but no way was I going to lug around 64 pounds of speaker cabinet. The bigger the speaker got, the more distrubing sounds were introduced. This suprized us because of what we had heard everyone say about 15" speakers.

Then a few months ago I was talking to Tony Barbetta who out of the blue said that keyboards sound better on 10" speakers compared to 15"'s.

I was suprized by his statement and asked him if that was the case why everyone has to have 15" speakers. He laughed and said they just think they need 15's.

Any comments of this?

Scott, its been a long time since I've bought amps and speakers but it seemed like a 15" was required in order to get down to a decent frequency range to produce quality bass...

but this was when the power terminology went from tube to transistor... now its digital

I was on a job at a hotel banquet room, we were on break. Went into the lounge to hear the group playing there.
Everyone was coming out of a set of Bose 802s. It sounded so great.

I looked into the Bose and when I found out the price, I continued carrying 400 pounds of amp and speaker cabinets around in an el camino
