Hi All,

Yesterday I went hunting for a good radio/cd player so that Monica can listen to our newly recorded songs at home, getting used to them for our next live performances (We made on the spot recordings whilst singing most of those for the very first time on our new arranger).

Well, these turned out to be rather expensive. Then, at one of the major stores over here (Game), the salesman suggested the new Samsung SK330 (or something to that effect) DVD player with it's own little surround sound speakers and one smallish bass bin. This was on a special for R1000 in South Africa, which is roughly $115

Boy, were we AMAZED at the sound after we set it up at home!!! So much so that I'm going to put away my two big self powered Dixon speakers that we use inhouse for our arranger, buy another similar Samsung unit and use it, connected to our arranger, for playng, practicing & recording at home.

I've never heard better quality sound anywhere, and this all coming from those small speakers??? Hard to believe indeed... Now I know why the small Bose L1 & L2 are able to make such an impression. Big is no longer powerful or good sounding & this is a real eye opener for me.

For those looking for affordable, very good quality home sound for their Tyros 4s, you might want to look into this. It comes with two microphone inputs as well as the normal Aux ins.

Keep well all my friends,

Henni

Another great option are Logitech sound systems. I have three of them--a Z2200 in my office, a Z5500 in the living room and another Z2200 packed up and ready to go for a backup sound system or for very small parties.
Small can sound really great!

Henni,

Sounds interesting, but I can't 'Goggle' it. Can you be more specific on the model number?

Thanks

Hi Larry,

Look here

Kind regards,

Henni

Hi Larry,

See specs here.

It seems I bought a LOT more than realized!!! I am amazed & elated!!! Life keeps on getting better all the time. I'll pick up another one today...

Keep well my friend,

Henni

Thanks Henni,

A sing-a-long DVD Surround 5.1 Player with 2 mic inputs, an aux in, plays DVD's, handles USB media and at 330W x 6 is a nice setup, so I'm sure it sounds great.

It's also priced at about 1/2 of the Z5500, and the Z2200 is no longer available, however I'm not sure if your Samsung E330 is available in the States. The closest I could find is the E350 but is missing many of the features, and is more a typical DVD surround sound player.
