Since I'm gearing up to play live, I traded my HS7s in for a pair of ALTO TS110A. For the 1st time ever, I am in love with the acoustic piano sounds. I am floored!!! This is one hellavu speaker system. The audience is gonna love it smile

Powered speakers are way too go now days.There is a lot of variety, and at this point they are all pretty good.I just got me Yamaha DSR112.Now I have to get me subs too.

Hi mirza,

Congrats on your choice. They were a bit more than I wanted to spend. These Alto are inexpensive ($225 each) and sound terrific. For years, I've been looking for a good acoustic piano sound and these produce, big time. Little warmer and fuller makes that "hollow" piano sound disappear - they really are close to a headphone sound! The 10" gives enough bass for me too smile

I heard a fantastic jazz pianist recently playing those Altos and they sound really good. Let us know how your arranger sounds through them.

Jim, what were you using with the keyboard prior to getting these speakers?

Just ran across this. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EON515XT

15" powered two way at only 32 lbs. These originally listed for $899 now $399. These would replace a bunch of my PA equipment. I'm trying to justify getting two. Don't REALLY need them but I can't pass up such a deal.

Anyone have any experience with these?

Hi Bill..
For music and DJ work i think theyre ok, but for piano on lower notes, you will here them rattle .. Had to return mine.. Best to research for customer reviews on speaker systems nowadays , as reputable brands names are now labelled on cheap chinese parts..

Thanks for the reply
Yesterday I did that and looked at reviews on these posted by all the major stores. I'd say it seems like very few negative posts. I even called two stores and asked about reliability. Seems to be a big seller and really no negatives. Only one post mentions your problem. Of course there's always the odd bad one in the bunch. Did both of your speakers give you a problem? Did you send them back and try a different set to see if it was just a bad speaker or a design problem ?
I figured these were Chinese made but I don't think that always means something is bad. Just made with cheap labor. I think even Apple does it.
