Hi Bebop:
Thanks for the warm and generous welcome for PR owners. I guess since the PR's are more expensive, most choose the KN models. The portability of the KN's are useful if plans are to move it around alot. But some people like a piece of furniture to help decore their living space or play at one location and the PR's happen to be of choice.
I wish technics would incorporate full KN features in the PR's. I think the PR's are 1 KN model behind and feel that the PR804 may have most of the KN6500 features plus a little of the KN7000.
Other reasons why PR's are chosen it has the full 88 keys. My son takes piano lessons and the 88 keys are needed. Don't have to worry about getting a foot switch and has some good speakers... Although don't know why Technics went from 240w on the 903 back to 120w on the 804... Cost I guess.
Dissappointed that the PR804 lacks the following: No SD card, No user styles, wish the pattern copy included the sound arranger settings, alot of dead space in the view screen that can include more usefull info, and PR format files are not fully compatible.
Again thanks for making PR owners welcome. Hmmm, do you know the PR804 can load and play KN6000/6500/7000 hint hint hint...
