Hi beachbum. I have found the Yamaha StagePAS a perfect combination for small nursing home gigs that I do (25 to 75 people) even in difficult sound locations. the keyboard sounds rich and vocals exceptionally clear. I also like the reverb effect, although I have seen some negative views on that too.
Also important to me, it is light and easy to set up.
