I would think your QSC's would benefit most with this sub.

How are the sounds for instrumental performance compared to SX-900??

It's just my guess, but the guess is that E-A7 can be a dissapointment comparing to SX900.

I know that I've never tried E-A7 personally. Watched videos. Also, I have Juno DS, which supposedly shares some of its sounds with E-A7. As for saxes, flutes, oboe, other orchestra sounds, I'd say, it looses even to PSR-3000 with some exceptions (some strings). The same is about guitars. Consider that SX900 is a fifth generation after PSR-3000, and all major sounds were updated a few times.

I see that in specific cases other factors can become more important, but so far I was not impressed with any of E-A7 videos, sometimes a term "General MIDI" comes to mind when I listen to its guitars or oboe (I have a special feeling to oboe).

But not everything can be judged by videos. I'm very curious about E-A7 myself, but in a situation when there's only one keyboard to have, I'd think 10 times before choosing it.

Maybe with the sub, I might have liked the EA-7 a bit more. It's night and day on the SX ... but it outta be. Remember years ago at one of your parties ... I used my i5S with my Galleon Kruger bass amp as a sub ... totally made it usable and filled the area.

This Fishman sub has an extended low cut filter that widens the Q, and 3 settings - 80hz, 100hz, and 120hz. I prefer 100 in this situation. There's plenty of power, and it's a nice, tight sound. Makes the kb speakers sound 3 times as loud.


you prob could still usae the i5 and GK for the winery....
