There is now a bigger model available so you can get that or the original with a small sub. I'm thinking the same as you, nice small stereo unit for home. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

But the decision is that or the original smaller one with a small sub like the Behringer 1200. For just studio use the original 8" model would probably be fine. Some guys here have them.

Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5520 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	I use mine in my studio as well as most gigs. I usually have it sitting on my Logitech Z2200 sub, but it isn't necessary on band day with my Hammond SK1 as I don't need my pedals. Everyone loves the spacious swirling sound. In a large room, it won't sound as good to you as it does to everyone else unless you use any sort of panel on the right side deflected about 45 degrees and facing you. The side firing speaker has to have enough space to "bloom", or converge with the front speaker to get the stereo effect. Since Don is pretty savvy, I am not sure what was wrong, but I love it. _________________________ pa4X 76 ,SX900, Audya 76,Yamaha S970 , vArranger, Hammond SK1, Ketron SD40, Centerpoint Space Station, Bose compact

Thanx Bernie.. I value you and Don M's opinions even tough they are so opposite...I ran the KORG Pa4x thru both my LD Maui 28s and OMG!!! although not practical and much too big for the house.....my Senn headphones and Rokit monitors will suffice for now for Stereo sound when playing/recording.

Audience said it was o.k. though. I'm with you Don. Got one from Sweetwater and played around with it as touted to do, behind walls, in other rooms, against a wall, angled, you name it......IMO, was dreadful. NO comparison vs stereo imaging. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Nord 6D73/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/ATEM Mini Pro switcher/K&M stand
