They are happy with the single output, for whatever reason, so be it.

So Tony, I'm with ya mate...you, Scott, Ian, Lee, and me, that's enough for a basketball team. We can call ourselves the Arranger DualOuts, and our games will be broadcast in Stereo!


Yes, Larry....I'm with you 100%. I think the biggest reason people stay with one Bose speaker is that two are just to darn expensive for the more frugal players, and, they can usually justify using only one...but we know the difference...Scott and I have actually tried one unit extensively with a Yamaha arranger and the phase cancellation to us was totally unacceptable.

Many deliberately went to Korg arrangers to get by the issue and made a big deal of the transition...some have returned to Yamaha, and now suddenly, and conveniently, the phase cancellation is a non-issue....kinda strange, eh?

Maybe these people are actually able to put up with the infamous Yamaha phase cancellation and get by with one speaker, but, not too many pros that I know, and those who care about sounding at their best, will try and get by with using the Yamaha arranger in mono, regardless of what speaker system they choose.

We have left it behind, Lee, and with Yamaha's arrangers, stereo is not only better, but it is essential...Yamaha's notorious phase cancellation pretty well requires the player to use stereo speakers (regardless of the brand), unless optimum sound isn't of paramount importance.
