I may order a pair of the speakers Fran spoke of when I get to hear them...they'd be a great back-up, as well as a nice little bump up from my Yamaha MS60S.

What always put me off from buying the Bose L1 was the stereo issue...I know it doesn't matter to some, but stereo does have me spoiled, especially when it comes to hearing effects on my sounds...guitar delays, and rotary speaker, as well as the ubiquitous Electric Piano stereo pan.

I think you'll fall in love with the difference when using two Bose in stereo...the other cool thing, is that you can use the panning to more extreme settings and not end up losing the sweet spot.

Using two Bose is not that much more difficult than using a pair of cabinets and the subsequent monitors...and they will still take up far less stage space than the latter setup...only stickler would be the price for some, but consider that many pay far more for their arranger keyboard alone, and most wouldn't keep it as long as they would a PA system.

When it sounds right to me, it always makes me play better and enjoy the gig so much more...I remember when I first started using the two Yamaha MS60S after years of just using a single keyboard amplifier speaker combo.

You like emulating guitar; me too, and although you do a much better job of it than I, I love the effect that stereo has on the DSP, especially for pedal steel, and Strat/Tele type sounds.

I'll be looking forward to your comments, both on the stereo Bose, and the speakers that Fran discovered.
