John,

I purchased the Z5500 ($130.00). For my ears most of the computer or home theatre speakers are a bit to bright. The base and controls are perfect. I am using the base and replaced the speakers with Advent Minis (R-L) and a Jensen Center speaker that I had from a stereo setup. Adjusting the control, with it's many options, the sound is just right for me at home and ample for a small hall like our Jam sites.

Give you a preview at our 2009 Jam. Cannot believe how time flies......this will be our 5th year in a row for the Florida Keyboard Conference.
