When you position the peavey kb100's a part , you have a natural seperation . When you play out of the Kp200 , the seperation of sound is coming out of one unit . The player using the keyboard can not hear the stereo sound projection the same way as natural seperation . It's one source , but your audience can recognize the stereo effect and anyone playing with you , if you happen to do a duo or play in a live band.
The bass on the KP200 is very good and the sound is clean . Nice amp and very compact . Dan O'
You have to hear the KP-200s to understand why it is so popular. The stereo sound comes from one source with the KP-200s but the amp includes a "stereo expansion" effect that really makes the sound seem to come from all around the amp. It makes a big difference even if you are seated right in front of the amp, as most users would be. This effect carries over throughout the rooms I've used my KP-200s in and different parts of the sound seem to jump out from different places. I also believe that it does not suffer from the phase cancellation problems other keyboard amps have.
I still maintain that a full PA sounds slightly better than a KP-200s but IMHO the KP-200s is far more convenient. There is no other single or paired keyboard amp(s) made that sounds like the KP-200s. And it has plenty of bass response and power to spare (without replacing the woofers that come with it).
