Rattley,

I always use the 2000 speakers as an in your face monitor, which I find better than packing another piece of equipment around, mainly a 30-pound monitor. I always keep the volume low enough so I can hear what's coming from the main speakers, but loud enough to clearly monitor what I'm playing. The lack of built-in speakers is probably the only thing that currently prevents me from buying a Tyros. Everything, other than the lack of speakers, that I've heard on three forums is quite positive.

Cheers,

Gary
