I am not saying anything new to you stereo guys, but I was blown away by the following personal experience last night at a big dinner I played at:

I have an Audya 76, Pa4X, and a Yamaha S970 that I regularly use, but the S970 was being used occasionally only for small events. I have a Bose compact and a stereo Spacestation V3.

The Audya and Korg seem to do well with either amp, but favor the Spacestation. The S970 just sounded weak, not bad, but compressed. Still, there is a lot to like about it, with the myriad of styles, easy work fkow, and light weight. I love the stereo effect of the Spacestation, and know Yamaha works better in stereo, but I never had any balls with it before.

My solution for last night was to team the Yamaha with the Spacestion and a Z2200 Logitech sub I had, and VOILA, what a sound. To go one step more, I ordered a remote and extension for the Logitech controls, which is better than the original. This way, I could dial the indensity and volume with a turn of the dial. The old sub is small, light, and only an 8 incher, but, for those that remember it, it was very powerful.

Yamaha has now rejoined my arsenal.
