I suppose I'm just old and obstinate, but I didn't even like the way they sounded in the music store with 3 people there.
However, I'm glad they are working out for some of you. Different tools for different jobs.
I have a particular "sound" that I hear in my head (WOOOO) and I constantly try to find it.
I can get it with the Bose, and with Barbettas, and even Logitechs, with the Roland G70 and the Ketrons.
I'm fairly happy with my S900, and the audiences seem very pleased, BUT I'm missing that "sound".
G70 is too heavy for me, so that leaves . . .
Ketron. SD1 is too old and (now) overpriced.
Midjay is missing a few features I want, so SD5 or, preferably, Audya will most likely be next. I will listen again to Korg PA800 because so many people I respect think it sounds great. Maybe the one I had was just a lemon? At least it sounded like a lemon.
In the long run, none of this makes any difference to anyone except us.
