Jim,
I have a Motionsound KP-100. I keep it in my van for emergencies. I would never use it on the job, and from my experience it's probably the worst sounding amp I've ever used. And, when you look at the internal workings of the KP-100, all of the component parts would not cost $100 retail, and that includes the speakers. It's probably the most overrated, overpriced amp I've come across, and if I would not have been able to garner it at the price I paid, I would have never purchased it. It has never been out of the van, mainly because I have yet to experience a system failure with the Bose or Logitech.
As for stereo, I've said it all before--no one other than those individuals situated within an equalteral triangle of the speakers benefit from stereo--no one. Those situated outside the triangle are subject to an overpowering of the left or right speakers. I want everyone in my audience to hear everything coming from the keyboard. Whether or not I hear stereo is irrelevant.

Gary; I don't think I've read a post in recent memory that I disagreed with more. The KP-100s and the KP-200s are two of the finest amps I've ever had the pleasure of working with in 35+ years. I use my KP-100s at least twice a week and it's still putting out great sound. I can only hope it lasts for years to come. Whatever you do with the KP-100s, or to it, to get such bad results is a a personal issue. I did an outdoor gig at a party on Sunday with the KP-200s alone that sounded great. Both amps are important to me but I wouldn't hesitate to dump them in a second if something better came along... nothing has. As to stereo... it is my firm belief that the most important and critical person listening is ME. Whatever makes the sound better and more enjoyable for the guy playing is worthwhile. I love stereo but I'll take surround if I can swing it, and I often can. Besides, I believe in acoustic reflection and the more sources for sound the more reflections. While they audience may not be getting the absolute perfect stereo mix form every chair (they'll never know or care anyway) they are individually getting their own unique left/right experience that usually takes either multiple musicians with multiple instruments to achieve or a single musician with multiple speakers. Whatever - IMHO the more musos that use mono, the better I sound. Stereo 4 life. Esh

Jim, When I find a good amp to replace the KP-100, it will go on the For Sale section for $200. The only reason I keep it is because it fits nicely between the van's rear seats. I've only plugged it in and tested it out one time, and that was all I had to hear before placing it in the van for a backup. Fran, I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong!  Cheers, Gary ------------------ Travlin' Easy
