LOL

I want to thank everyone for their input. Lots to think about. Just to add another option. I currently have a Motion Sound KP-100s. It is a true stereo keyboard amp that I use as a personal monitor when working with a larger band and will consider integrating with some of the options presenting.

So how did this thread degrade into Superman pictures? I will discuss in another thread.

Another very good speaker line.....

Donny, just curious, but do you mount your Mackie SRM 450's on poles or do you just place them on the floor for added bass? Also, do you position the speakers behind you or in front of you?

After using the Motion Sound KP 100s a few weeks I wasnt thrilled at all with the so called Stereo sound & had to get rid of it good concept...but the sound wasnt up to par for my tastes....TRs MS02 w/bose 161 or The Logitec systems sound much better IMO.

I mount the 450's on poles if Im setup on the floor to go over the crowd....remember I mostly play for 200-400 pp on average.....

On a Stage I keep the poles in the lowest position without extending them this is the perfect height in this situation.

In close quarters on much smaller jobs with tables right on top of me I'll lay them on the floor angled up like a monitor so the sound bounces off the ceiling.. or Use the TRS Ms02 Sub w/Bose 161's attached to the T2. Great sound for intimate affairs.

My positioning is always about 6-7 ft to each side of me with the speakers about a few inches forward past my EARS ....

They really KICK BUTT!!

I also have a Motion Sound KP-100, which fits neatly between the back seats of my van. It's for backup purposes only, and the only time I would use the Motion Sound is when everything else fails. I found the KP-100 provided less than stellar sound quality, even under the best of circumstances. Additionally, having taken mine apart to tighten the main board, I quickly discovered this is the most overpriced, overrated amp I come across in decades of working with sound systems. The combined amp components, including the speakers, could not have cost more than $100.

Back to the Logitechs, which was the main thrust of this post. Of the hundreds of Synthzone, PSR-Tutorial and SVPWorld members that have purchased the Z-2200, Z-5500, Z-5300 and Z-2300 systems, I only know of three individuals that said they did not like what they heard. If Logitech ever finds out what we are using these inexpensive systems for they will likely jack up the price by a couple hundred percent.

As I said earlier, but the system from a reputable retailer that has a liberal return policy, then let your ears be the judge.

Good Luck,

Gary

I too have been underwhelmed by the MS-100.
However, in small settings it has met the need. I bought the 100 based on very strong reviews of the 200 when I was looking for a small 100 watt amp.

I and was wondering how the Motion Sound 100 would work as a supplement to a T2 with the TRS-MS02 and the Bose 161's.

Scott Yee, I think you have all of that equipment. Could you comment on when you might use that configuration instead of pulling out the big guns?

Quick Question:

How are you guys connecting the Logitechs to your keyboards? Via the headphone input? I've heard this is not optimal.

I believe the Logitechs have a 1/8" stereo cable. Are you splitting it with a single female 1/8" to dual 1/4" to connect to your keyboard L/R output jacks?

Thanks.
