I am updateing my gear and want info on Yorkville Keyboard amps, KB 200 w/15in spkr & 1" tweeter. I use a Korg CX3 and will buy a Roland RS 9 and want to know if anyone has used this amp and how well has it performed.

I have used a Yorkville 12 ch. powered mixer with a local blues band for 3 years and had no problems. Do the keyboard amps hold up as well? HOw about powered spkrs? Yamaha MS 400.

Also, what about keyboard stands? Looking for double tier to fit 88 keys safely.

HI: Piano Tech
I have had the Yamaha MS400 powered speakers
since the first part of August 2001 & I think
there great.
I had FBT Maxx4A before that & I like the
Yamaha's better they handle the HF & LF as
good as the FBT & the mid range better.
Enjoying the 9000 PRO
Denny

The entire Yorkville line is really great. The model you are looking at is a nice combination of features vs. size at a nice price. The single 15" speaker puts out a nice, full range of tone, while the horn adds the "sizzle" to the top end for clarity. I have always liked the EQ points that Yorkville uses - very musical.
If compared to other amps in it's size, I'd prefer the KB200 over the Roland KC100&300 and the Peavey KB150. Both Roland and Peavey offer better amps (KC500 and KB300a) but they are larger, heavier and more expensive.
I think for the money, if mono is what you want - that Yorkville is a winner.

-For a double tier stand-have a look at the Quik Lok M-92. Lots of room for pedalboards & whatever. Folds up nice for transport. (thanks for the info on this item Scott-I got the M91-Just great)

Thanks for the info. However, I found you have to crank up volume at back panel almost all the way on both master and line input just to get a good level. Why? A Yamaha tech I talked to said its not normal and settings should be at center or 2 oclock. Your input is appreciated, Denny. Thanks.
