Just to drag us back to the original subject, I rarely change EQ much other than to adjust the volume of the bass amp but tend to need to adjust reverb mix for different venues.

Hi Scott, This past New Year I used my Eon 10's on stands on iether side of me, and one Eon G2 15' behind me as far as I could.
The Eon G2 was adjusted to heavy bass and very little treble.

The Eon G2 added enough bottom, and suported the mid's and high's---I am still inyerested in a woofer!
Chers, John C.

Scott: To answer your question, no - but that needs explaining. I found that to get the most out of the EON's requires a preamp, like a mixer. I don't normally use a mixer though... mostly I just plug the 9000 Pro straight into the EON inputs when I use them - so I use the EON's primarily for soft-volume-gigs where I know space will be tight. I recently used them in a dinner club where my back was to the wall, which would not work well for the KP-200s, so I put an EON on either side of me on the floor and tilted towards me for a nice low-volume sound.

On paper the EON's should put out more volume than the KP-200s and they might if I used a mixer/preamp with them. But the KP-200s is a beast and has the added benefit of the spatial enhancer which spreads the sound field out. Also the overall cabinet space of the KP-200s seems larger than the combined EON's IMHO and that may give the KP-200s more perceived power. Whatever it is, the KP-200s seems louder and punchier than the EON's to me, but that's subjective and probably depends on how both systems are actually used.

The coolest aspect for me is that my system is scalable:

Lo-power: (2) EON 10's
Medium: KP-200s
High: KP-200s + (2) EON 10's + (2) EON Subs

and in the high-power situation the KP-200s would act as both the stage monitor and the mixer/preamp to give the EON's the signal strength to get the maximum performance out of them. Also I can get a quasi-surround-sound effect by using the high-power option.

They want $99 for the KKP9.

Musiciansfriend.com which is their affiliate is asking $119 for the KKP9.

Hi The Pro

So the mixer is giving a boost in power that the Yamaha onboard mixer won't deliver?

Should I decide to go that route for that reason I presume one of those Behringer mixers at or under $100 should do the same thing?

Thanx

Scott...

I'm sensing a little bit of frustration... too many choices! Anybody else here remember the good old days when the only sound choice was good sound or bad sound? And if you wanted good sound you looked no further than the Shure VocalMaster!

Hi Glenn

I remember the days when I played a Hammond M3 (spinet version of B3) and at first used a Leslie, and later used a Fender Bass amp. Of course in those days an organist or keyboard player pretty much used a bass amp. Before the keyboard amps came out. As far as the PA, that was the other guys job, I didn't want to mess with all those knobs. haha.

I used a Rotoverb Leslie simulator which sounded great. Still have it as a matter of fact. Hmmmm, come to think of it I think I'll sell it.

Yes to both questions.

Since you guys are talking abpout case. How can you compare this case made by Pro Tec to one made by Kaces? I'm also shopping for a case.
