Dear Group,
In an effort to simplify my gig rig I bought two EV SXa100 speakers. When my X1 (built-in speakers) is operable I get along very well without monitor speakers. However, the X1 is in the repair shop again (as it has been more times than I want to believe or accept). So, now I must take my Yamaha 9000 Pro (no built-in speakers) to the gig. In order to stay "simple" what do you recommend that I rig up for a monitor? I can't turn the mains a bit toward me (some times they are actually in the next room). I have a nice Roland Cube-60 keyboard amp (mono). I also have a very small powered monitor, also mono (like in-your-face personal size). How about if I buy another EV SXa100 to use for a monitor and it could also serve as a back-up for my mains? I'm now running stereo using the main outs of the keyboard directly into the EVs.
Thanks,
DVJ
