LoL, yeah you are probably right Mike..I imagine they do make a tidy profit.

Out here the L1 STILL sells (Bose regulated) for $2995. (Forget the mark II, MIN of around $4000).. so getting two in Oz is not really an option.

The 502a's are also not cheap (with the sub and amps at around $6000 new rrp) but I got a good deal on a system used about 30 times for a folk band. So I am back to the happy land of stereo

Thanks also for your kind words

I really think Diki nailed it about the mono pianos...back in the day thats all we got, stereo was the exception, if Kurzweil can provide a decent piano, I cannot see why the others cannot as well.
