hee heee ........

I totally agree with you. I'm sure this is a problem for many keyboards, not just Yamaha. The emphasis is to make them sound good in stereo. Mono output isn't a consideration because it is not a top marketing feature. Stereo only really works if the main sound speaker outputs are well spread. While stereo keyboard amps may sound good close up by the time the sound reaches the audience it pretty much sums to a mono sound.

Ok Donny, I realize you're a fickle guy , but somehow still not convinced this the entire reason. I'm curious what about the PAS itself (appearance, setup convenience, transportability, sound, or something else about it), might of had 'initially' driven you to the point of actually posting it for sale here. - Scott

Probably the same thing that prompts me to buy a new keyboard every year, even when I don't need one. It's all about keeping interested. You get it just right, then wonder if you can get it any better.
That and the drugs he takes.

Donny,
I tried all the presets that were recommended by you, Gary, Eddie and others. I was not totally happy with any of them. Then I decided to just run into the Bose using zero, no preset, and e.q. from the SD1 or mixer, when I use one. I am now totally pleased with the system.
Also, by doing it this way, if I have a guest guitarist or fiddle player or whatever, I can use the first two inputs for them and whatever presets they need.
I continue to get great praise from customers and jealous surprise from a lot of musicians.

Donny: Thanks for the valuable clarification. Whether the problem is inherent with Yamaha's stereo samples or otherwise, it looks that I'll be holding off on a Bose PAS system till Yamaha comes up with a solution, or until I purchase a keyboard more compatible with the Bose PAS mono system. - Scott
