I just purchased the PSR 2000. It was a difficult decision. Yamaha didn't give the PSR 2000 all of the features I wanted it to have. But the price and weight difference were just a little too much.

Hi Beakybird. I'd be inerested to see how the psr2000 works out for you at nursing homes and such as my wife and I are thinking of doing something similar.

Hi Beakybird,
I am also thinking of buying this board.
My wife and I also play in nursing homes,and at church! Seems a lot of us on this forum do! I wondering if the 12+12 watts of output
would be enough, or would it need external amplification. I think when I typed this i answered my one question! A small room it would probabiy be loud enough, but to get the depth & bass, you would need the ext. amp. system. Can you use line out to an amp.,and your internal speakers at the same time?
Best regards,
Nobby

I am quite sure that just like the PSR 740, you will be able to use the line outs and the internal speakers at the same time. The speakers are rated at twice the power as the PSR 740. We'll see how much more volume is produced. With the PSR 740, I almost always bring some monitors to make the music more footstomping loud for the old folks. I have two sets of monitors that I use. I have some Numark M-40 monitors, 20 watts per channel, very good sounding, and pretty light. I put these in a duffle bag. I lay the duffle bag in front of my keyboard, I pull down the duffle bag around the speakers and I plug the speakers in. When I'm done with the show, I just pull up the duffle bag around the monitors and throw the cables inside. It's very quick way to get extra volume with a minimum time expenditure. I also own a set of Audix PH15 studio monitors, 45 watts per channel. They're just a little louder than the Numarks, about 10lbs heavier, but they sound superb! I find that in this business it's good to have two of everything, because you never know when something's going to break.
