Hi Jim.
I also have used the KN7000 for a karaoke night in a room which holds 100 people and the result was excellent. Both speakers and microphone performed well and were ample for that size of venue. A little bit of reverb on the mic was all that was needed.

Wondering specifically how many of you are using the 7000 for public performance, and that do some gigs using ONLY the internal speakers. I'm imagining that for smaller venues, and/or situations where the music is supposed to be "background" music, that it might be enough. I have 2 different stereo amp/speaker setups for larger gigs - but would LOVE to *not* have to take them to some of my smaller gigs. Does the KN-7000's internal sound system do a good job of spreading its sound around the room? Does the bass and treble seem to both get out into the room OK?

Thanks for any comments,
Jim
