Scott,

The 3000 does not require a lot of tweaking--just a bit of EQ adjustment. The same goes for the Tyros--it also requies a bit of EQ adjustment if you play it through a completely flat sound system. Through a headset, to my aging ears, both sound pretty much the same. Maybe a bit more depth in the voices with the Tyros, but this depends upon the individual voice. And, of course, it has twice the polyphony, therefore things such as the Grand Piano, which is a stereo sample, will sound better with the Tyros.

I've posted the settings I use on this forum several times, and since I began using the Bose PAS I've softened them a bit, but overall they're about the same EQ settings that were previously posted.

Set the master EQ at 4,3,2,5,8 and you'll hear a big difference in sound quality.
