Well, I can say that when I turn my keyboard speakers off and listen to the mono Bose, I want to gag I've been duped all along by the keyboard monitors. In fact, I think I've had more positive feedback when I used a stereo setup. I know, I know, eq, etc. WHAT I WANT is the audience hearing the same thing I do when I listen to my keyboard speakers (that is the ultimate sound). If I don't hear an appreciable difference, I will return it and probably sell the other and go with a stereo setup, maybe something small, but I'm hoping (2) will result in what I seek.
