OK, I have always been happy with the Tyros 2 own speakers in my home, but I just connected the 2 cm30s and they sounded even better! Plenty of bass, Tyros 2 acoustic guitar comes through clearly and sounds great, good stereo separation! Great start. Real test tomorrow in a small nursing home setting.

Go for it, Graham!

And Bernie, you're advice eventually paid off. I guess we should never overlook the best advice, which ultimately was yours Good job.

Graham,

Congrats on the CM30's they sound great for small situations.......& look good too on lightweight TRIPOD Mic Stands just screw em on!

The stand recommended by Bernie arrived today and it's perfect with the cm30, and you can't beat the price!

It is the best for the price, and stable enough for most venues. It could be argued by some, that might be surrounded by drunks. that they could be toppled. Then I guess that would mean only the large,expensive, and heavy speaker stands would suffice. The tripod opens up quite a good distance to be stable with small speakers like the CM-30.

I think I'm about ready to stop visiting this forum. because I get caught up in the talk of all this great new gear and I find myself constantly swapping gear.

Now here's my question anyone using the CM30s that had been using logitech z5500s. I know there was a dicussion on page 2 about the z2200s but I'd be curious to hear your comments, if you had been using the z5500s. I currently use the z5500s for 2 or 3 hour gigs. They are a bit too much work to setup for the 1 hr NH gigs. CM30s look like a great solution/ easy set up for those smaller gigs.

as amazing as they are for the size/price, and
as adequate as they may be for small rooms, 2 CM-30's are not going to sound anywhere close to as good as one EV sxA100 powered speaker,
stereo or no stereo. of course we're talking
$350 v $625, and 43 lbs to lift..but for most
that's not a killer..a speaker is a lot easier to handle at 43 than a kb..and doesn't need a case. so for $275 more to get a fantastic sound as opposed to just a good sound..that seems like not a lot for that. but as monitors they make a lot of sense.

Mo speaks the truth.

I am delighted with the sound of the CM30s for small rooms. I tried the Logitech z2200s and found them boomy even with the bass turned right down. The CM30s have a clear distinguishable sound, and I have had a lot of good reaction since I have been using them (in smaller rooms with lower ceilings).

I use the Yamaha PAS300 for larger settings, where the CM30s would probably be underpowered.

yes cassp and so do you. i got the Evsx100's passives today and the Behringer pmh518m. only tried it with just one speaker and sounds just so smooth and full and gorgeous..and the rack-style 518 is great..light,compact, sleek, and more powerful than the previous power-challenged Behringer mixers. as i said in another post, the EV 12" sx-powered or passive-in my test at Ash proved far superior to the Yam stagepas and the CM30...and the JBL Eon10 i used to use. No contest.
