True...but I'd rather go with the lighter high quality instrument and/or amp than heavier ones that do basically the same thing...that's why I'm so pleased with the Yamaha PSR-S900 and my Yamaha MS60 speakers.
Not much good getting older and not getting a bit wiser to go with it.
I gotta say, the Yamaha P85 piano midi'd to the S900 has got to be the nicest combination I've ever used.
88 weighted graded hammer for solo piano, and 61 smooth and light action for the arranger stuff.
All/each under 25 lbs...my back thanks me daily.
I usually change arrangers about every three years to stay with new technology, but my speakers are nearly 25 years old...but, 60 watts/side sometimes isn't enough for some gigs...
As I said, these powered speakers that Fran has discovered "look" pretty good spec wise....proof will be in the testing, and if they "perform" equally as well, then I'm going to get a pair.
