Thanks for providing this commparison with the Genesys as well. This keep sgetting tougher and tougher all the time. I still prefer the Tyros for the #1 slot, as I find it the most different sound in the playoffs....the expansion card I still feel comes in last place to me ears.

The 9k, 2k and Genesys all sound equally good to me, so it's hard to pick a clear ranking for me out of these 3. Each has some great strengths and minor weaknesses....I suppose if I absolutely had to rank them though..........

1 Tyros - lively with alot of warmth and richness
2 9000 pro - rich and warm
3 2000 - bright
4 Genesys - warm
5 expansion to me, lacking in all of the above

I suppose I just like the Yammy pianos I guess....but always have.

But....
I would not be unhappy with 2,3, or 4 though all sound great to me.
jam on,
Terry
