Wow, a song that I inspired, huh? thanx Terry ! BTW - just to set the record straight - I'm not ANTI-Tyros at all. I think it sounds wonderful. I am simply against the idea of buying a keyboard without good, solid monitor speakers built in. I do so many jobs where the sound at MY part of the room is almost enough to cover the crowd, that I'd be lost if I were to rely on a pA rig to hear. It's all a question of comfort level.

I admit that my stage scenario is not the typical R&R setup, and I like it that way. I still have my hearing, and I don't get headaches after work .... no ringing in the ears, no high end loss. I atribute my vocal health to proper monitoring levels, and I ALMOST never get asked to "turn down". I make them tell me to turn it UP first .... that way I'm ahead of the game.

Anyway - thanx for the kind words ... glad you are enjoying your new toy, but as long as it remains a "mute" there will be no Tyros under my tree this year. I'm diggin the sound I get with the PA80 and this Peavey Kosmos ... it's pretty cool.
