It's been obvious (to me) that Uncle Dave and I have been in FULL agreement regarding utilizing onboard keyboard speakers all along, and that augmenting them with a small bass or PA amp just helps to 'fill out' what's missing from the onboard speakers alone. In fact, my INITIAL post on this thread stated 'just that', so I was actually SURPRISED to find Uncle Dave thinking I was somehow taking aim at HIM.

Uncle Dave, I agree. I too have played MANY small intimate quiet room venues (conducive to dining/conversation) in my almost 20 years as a pro musician-entertainer. I'd hardly call myself a rookie though, as you had referred to me as.
