Yep, will do...next time I'm in the local music store...if they have them.

I've been happy with my 15 year old pair of Yamaha MS60s powered monitors for my restaurant and smaller gigs.

Less than 25 lbs each...60 watts...Active Servo Technology gives great bass.

The Rolands do look pretty cool, and the price is terrific.

I'm anxiously awaiting a review from someone who has tried 2..am i wrong in assuming that cassp and dnj have both tried 1 and are presuming that having 2 will double their fun (but if so why haven't they tried that?) maybe the law of diminishing returns might apply here and 2 will offer obvious advantages (stereo, or one as monitor)but not significant sound quality or room-filling benefits? Hey, do you guys live near each other?...maybe one of you can run over the other's house right now and play thru 2! I'll wait here, send wife for some pizza. LOL

Maybe you missed it.

I've never really played in stereo (except for the built-in speakers or headphones)and this a very nice effect. My next experiment will be to hook up my EV Sb120 and see if I can get an even fuller sound with that fairly compact sub.


I've been using them in the studio for now. They're great in stereo. I hope to have an opportunity next month to really punch them. That's when I'll try them with my EV sub.

"Common misconception...size and weight equal quality and performance. Don't be fooled."

I totally disagree with this quote...whether it is a Cadillac compared to a Corolla...or a G70 compared to a s900...

I guess you've been fooled...don't feel bad...you're not alone.

Another nice feature is the MIC stand threaded pole mount underneath!

Yep, you got to have them up at least to ear level.

I use a pair modified keyboard stands(X type).

how do you do that? how modified? would you get better bass if one was at ear level and the other on floor? Mo
