I heard a guy playing sax with midis using a Dawn outfit which is back in production. It really sounded pretty good. He was using it outside and the sound traveled well.

Less wires – and less parts – and less weights – and less trips. Al these other units offer too many pieces –for me. The price is $849.99, I bought my two JBL 10’s – powered at $800.00 two years ago.

I have always wanted to have one keyboard, one mic with stand, music and one amp. Possibly a chair. With the Kn7000 it was not possible. With my new addition, the Tyros 2, arriving today, I’ll see if it can be done.

Home use: Logitech Z2300 with Bose 161 speakers.

Job (Older music played strongly(Volume) a pair of JBL 10’s self-powered.
Somewhere between 175 to 200 watts each and I personally like their sound.

Because of the stereo factor of Yamaha it will have to be two speakers. If more volume or bottom is needed I would have to add a sub. I doubt I would want more of that I’m beginning to lose it in my right ear. Aaaaaah. For a piano tuner that’s not happy news.

The Tyros 2 has enough control so I would not use a mixer or vocal unit.
1-Keyboard and stand
2-Music, in this case a laptop
3-Mic and stand – may go head set
4-Two JBL 10’s light enough to carry one in each hand
5-Possible chair/seat

IMHO, John C.

Wow, I can’t believe it, in the middle of me writing this the UPS man rang my doorbell -- it’s here---- aaaaaaaaah – weeeeee, I think I’m excited. This is after being with Technics for 13 years.

My impression of the Peavey's sound quality is good. Nevertheless, the JBL Eon10 G2 get's excellent sound.

I think the Peavey would be the better choice if you were playing in a duo or three piece band, and you needed the outboard mixer.

For an arranger keyboard player, we only need two inputs. We don't need FX. We don't even need eq. We can do that on our keyboards.

I would get two JBL's with gig bags. I would get power cables with right angle plugs and guitar cables with right angle plugs, and I would keep those babies plugged in all the time. When you get to your smaller shows, you put the speaker on a chair, unzip (You don't even have to take the speaker out of the bag), and you pull out your cables and plug them in.

HI Donny

I agree with you. No power and who needs a 200 watt RMS sub weighing in at 44 pounds?

I would consider possible the Dawn satellites with a Yamaha or Logitech sub. That would take care of the power and less stuff to carry and less weight as far as that goes.
