Last October I purchased two PSR2000s to replace my two PSR740s. One of the two had a faulty speaker and had to be returned.

I do a lot of gigs. I probably go to close to 500 sites a year, so I am getting a lot of mileage out of my two PSR2000s.

I have had a lot of problems with the style control buttons where individual buttons would cease to work because the contacts were worn out. I think I've worn out six buttons. These go out slowly, so it has hampered gigs, but this problem has never ruined a gig. These problems have been covered under warranty.

One of my PSR2000s needed to have the internal amplifier replaced.

Now my other PSR2000 needs to have one or two speakers replaced. Unfortunately, there is a back order on replacement speakers and the wait is 4 to 6 weeks.

I would encourage anyone who wanted a light and fantastic sounding arranger to purchase the PSR2000. But I would also encourage anyone who made their livelihood playing one of these to have a backup.

I'm counting the months until the PSR2000's successor comes out. I really hope it has more flash ram and other media storage. This is my biggest beef with the PSR2000. I am constantly inserting and ejecting floppies during my gigs. Otherwise, I'm super happy with it.

If the Tyros had onboard speakers, I would splurge. Since it doesn't, and it is so expensive, I'm not going to budge for now.
