As you can read elsewhere here only this weekend have I been able to have a first try on the Micro myself. I am not going to repeat all the arguments pro and against that have been put forward thus far.
I assume that those who will get one or hang on to it will amplify it adequately either thru their main keyboard or thru a set of monitors.
However for those who want to keep it really Micro ( see also Saswick's thread about the ultimate micro set up) a worthwile suggestion.
At home I use the Creative Gigaworks T10 speaker set. A treat both in looks and in sound, and.............dead cheap. Alternatively their is the T20 even better.....
We hooked up the Micro to the T10 speakerset and it sounded absolutely great. I hasten to add that the internal speaker/amplificiation set is pretty lousy to put it mildly. Still for the price you guys in the USA are paying it remains a steal. Here in Europe it retails for the equivalent of 640 dollars, and that is the cheapest you can get. I still think that anyone in the States with no Korg in his set up and at the prices you are paying is well advised to give it a try.
