Well I took Evangelical's advice and got the set of 3 Altec Lansing 621's......very very nice, and I'm sure I could shatter the windows in my studio without too much effort. The satellites have great high and mid range with good bass response as well. I hooked up the sub woofer as well and it has deep heavy bass to it.....

So this set is the keepers. It really made the Tyros sound more to it's potential than the stock setup....thanks Evan, for the heads up on these.

To clarify a bit what can be done with these Altec Lansings.

There are a couple of ways they can be set up.
1. You can just replace the satellites
2. You can run all 4 of the satellites...the Tyros originals and the AL's
3. Any combination of the above all need the Tyros subwoofer plugged in still
4. You can also run both total systems in parallel (which is what I have done) so, I have 4 satellites and 2 subwoofers running and by running them in parallel, I can control the volume of each seperately one from the other.

It sounds killer especially on the acoustic styles with the mega guitars....WOW!

Hey Terry ... wow!! Sounds like you found a really nice setup there. Glad you like the AL's!
And to tonkan: seems I misinformed you. The Tyros has speaker outs and line outs. According to Yamaha you can only hook their speakers into the speaker outputs. But you can plug any powered speaker system or amp or home stereo into the line outs.

Have fun with your Tyri y'all! I just got me a used 9000 Pro and man that puppy rocks!

Blessings,

Just out of interest could I use the 621s on my PSR 1000?

Jus,
It depends on what sort of outs you have on the 1K. The Tyros has seperate outs for speakers besides the main and sub outs. Without seperate outs and built in on board speakers, then the only way I could think of would be to open up the board and attach a couple of wires to the lines that run to the speakers and put an rca jack on them to plug the Altec satellite in. Plan 2 would be to run out of the main outputs to them and I think a keyboard amp or powered monitors would work better for that.

It did just occur to me all the debate that took place over the Tyros not having on board speakers....sure am glad it didn't....that allowed me to be able to change the speaker set up without a hassle.

Hey guys try the M audio 5" powered monitor speakers on sale at the guitar center,they are great little additions to any axe and sound great as a computer refrence speaker.I use a pair of Roland KC500s for my main sound but at close range at home the ms' are the cats----.I have a Panasonic pa100 that's ok but not such a deal at list price, only payed $298. for them so not so bad. Thanks Jax

Jax,
I had a look at those the other day and they are doing something other than what we/I was trying to accomplish. Basically I was trying to come up with a better set of satellite speakers.....which are very small and can sit on top of the Tyros. The M audios would be more for coming out of the main outs.
