I mainly play through a Peavy KB/A 100. It's got enough power for me. But I think it's much better if you go the speaker route with power amp. But the way I see it is then you're so close to a PA system for the band ya know?

Here's something I've done before: I've used two amps and a mixer with my son-in-law. The amps were a Peavy KB300 and my KB/A 100. We used these two amps and a Behringer mx802 something mixer. (two stereo ins and 4 line inputs). We both play keys so I had one stereo channel, he had the other. We both also play guitar so we each had one line out and of course we both mic'ed our voices with the other two line inputs.

We maintained stereo for the keyboards because one amp was left and the other was right. We have been fortunate to place the amps behind us at each side of the stage, so we actually did not use monitors. We heard ourselves as the audience heard us.

In church I use my kb/a 100 as my monitor and use the pre-amp out to go to the PA. I loose stereo here which is a bummer and I want to over come this, so might use a very small mixer to run stereo to the PA and mono to my amp.

It's a tough call. I still think about getting a small pa but I wouldn't just for keys. I guess some folks do.

In either case I dont think the KB60 is enough. You could get two amps and a small mixer. You'd have flexibility depending on the gig ya know? Maybe the place has a PA so you just bring one amp as a monitor. Maybe they have nothing, so you bring both and the mixer.

I'm also curious to here what others are doing. I could stand to learn myself.

Best wishes
