Does someone know if there is an alternative to the "default" yamaha tyros 2 speakers?

I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to spending $270 on home speakers...

There are alot of similar computer speakers that feature two or more speakers and a subwoofer... Do they have the right jacks plugs etc.?

Buy Studio Monitors,you can use them for years and they sound a lot better than pc speakers.
Look for Yamaha HS,KRK,Alesis,Tannoy and many more brands.

Shim,
If you buy cheap speakers now you will end up replacing them later. I used a pair of M-Audio BX5a speakers - even on gigs at first. They are great sounding and ran about $300.00 for the pair at Guitar Center. Like a previous poster said - there are others - best for you to go listen to them in the store first.

I have a set of Klipsch and a set of Bose speakers that are actually meant for computers and it was a surprise how good they sounded with my Yamaha keyboards. They were both under $200.00. I ended up not using them very much after I got the M-Audios.

Good luck with your search.

I am using a pair of Bose speakers that fit on the Yamaha mounts that fit on the tyros 2 and the original Yamaha Bass woofer for this keyboard. They are ok for in the studio. I have a sound wall composed of many amps and speakers I can plug into but these bose work pretty good.
Bose 161 left and right.
I bought them used from Donnie Pease so ask him if you want more info.
I am happy with them,
Bebop

I used the above setup with Ty2 also and found it an improvement over the MS02's.

I still use them outside each end of Ty3 on stands but now they're connected to a Logitech Z5500 subwoofer as part of a 2x stereo setup.
The far speakers, 8 feet away in the corner of the room are 2 of the Z5500 satellites.
Since I had them anyway I use the Bose for the close up position as I found the overall sound just a bit more appealing than using all 4 Logitech satellites.

You bought a $3000+ arranger (when new) and want to run it through sub-$270 speakers?

Surely something that COULD sound great deserves to be run through something that CAN make it sound great?

Thank you everyone.

I mainly wanted to know what kind of jacks (are needed)/cables (are used)...

Diki, I don't mind if their cheap speakers, this is only for in home use, for gigs I got way more powerful speakers...

If you are using the speakers for your home and dollars are an issue then I say Logitech Z2300 -- They do a good job. If you are looking for a fine sound for you home then studio speakers WITH A SUB would be good. I t does not make sense when you buy a Z5500 or 15” Mackie for use in a home, it would be overkill at 5 to 8 times the price.

IMHO, John C.
