I have a Traynor K4 which I think is pretty darn good for what it is, but it doesn't compare to my EV Sx250's. BUT, every playing situation is different and for YOUR needs, the kC880 may be a better choice. In any case, enjoy your new rig. It probably sounds teriffic. Sure wish I could work up some enthusiam for some new gear; I still remember the excitement. Must be old age. Oh well.

LOL to all who suggested the Powered amp...I was also hesitant as maybe I should go PA/Bose...But things changed AFTER THIS POST....I actually stopped this order as I got a Best Buy Credit Limit for $800. So buying a Computer and have a $2000 order for Pro Tools/Interface & killer monitors.

Wasn't keen on spending 1k on a keyboard amp to play 30 minutes a week.

IT'S NOW ON IN THE HOME STUDIO WITH THE PA 4X
