Don't take Kingfog so seriously, Donny.... someone as knowledgeable as he would surely not overlook the excellent value and performance of the Z5500.

I'm sure they weren't intended for "pro" use from the manufacturer, but that doesn't stop enterprising and clever performers from taking advantage of them for gigging.

It's kinda the same as "home" keyboards like the Tyros and G70 etc. that get used by adroit performers for professional gigs and/or recording.

If there's nothing wrong with a home keyboard being played on pro gigs and/or recording sessions, why should it matter if someone uses a "home" speaker system for the same?

Surely Kingfog isn't that image conscious...how could he be?

He performed as a facsimile of the genuine article, and he was relatively successful.
