I have two of them gathering dust. There is no question about them brightening up the sound. I have one hooked up to my KN7000 and I can tell the difference. Whether or not anyone else can is a different question. I guess it's one more piece to carry and hook up.

My Audya doesn't need it at all.

I used a BBE Sonic Maximizer for a few years, all the instruments seemed to be separated giving a nice balance and clarity. What you are running into you BBE and the amplifier are very important, I found that unless I was critical about the setting on the BBE the sounds of the highs like a cymbal were right up front and took away from the total sound.

Add the settings on your instruments and the settings on your amp. And finally the room you are playing in – (Sometimes we need to add highs or less reverb etc.) That’s far too much to worry about while trying to do a good job. If the conditions never changed it would be a good unit.

Just my view, John C.

Yea John your right. jumping into a gig I want to worry less about settings and more about what to play for that particular crowd. I guess thats why I gave up on it in the past. I still may give it another run on a few jobs.
Simple is good

I used it with my Tyros 2, but stopped with my Tyros 3. I did not think it was a major improvement even on the T2 though...
