Russ..you have to get into the G70 to find out why it's the best....Maybe you will be impressed then..

I do not know of one person that has put any effort into understanding [spending time with the unit]..that has not come to the conclusion..it is the one to beat...

Hmmmmm......


Yeah, I got suckered in when the T2 first hit (with all the advanced propoganda). Besides, there was nowhere to test one in the beginning. I bought the PA1x Pro (also "blind") as an antidote to the T2. Luckily, I liked it. But from now on, I'm gonna try to follow Diki's lead, and "try before you buy". I'm still looking for that speaker that's going to make my C1 sound like it's hooked to leslie, but so far, the closest ones are really heavy (and expensive) which sort of defeats the whole idea of a "lightweight" rig. I may just abandon the whole "808S + passives" and get a MotionSound Pro145. I'm kind of waiting for my wife to want something first so I've got some chips to play .

Sold the KN7000—Great keyboard Not a keeper because if the aging technology.

Sold a Tyros 2 It should have been a keeper. I went to hear the man who bought the keyboard four times. He was using Mackie powered 15” speakers and the sound was fantastic. My error.

Bought S900- a keeper for now.

I sell all my old equipment in search for new, and if I’m lucky improved.

Fran,

What about the MediaStation. That is missing from your list and I for one am interested in whether it's a keeper or not

Since I have all the new boards in my store, there is only one keyboard I bought this year that I returned within 24 hours of opening it up and trying it out.......that Behringer Digital Piano which now it seems only Costco sells.......And the reason..........the worst sounding piano I've heard in anything on the market...........It reminds me of the first Ensoniq mirage 8 bit sample sounds.
My favorite products of 2007 to play with at my store.......the Korg PA800 and the Yamaha PSR-S900. Best sellers for 2007...........PA800, PSRS900 and PSRS700oriental, Casio Privia.....the whole line (PX110, PX200, PX800). The worst selling keyboards.........everything that is not an arranger style or 88 key piano style keyboards. The Motif's, fantoms, tritons have really slowed down in sales this past year. ARRANGERS RULE in Reseda, California...
