Hi Beakybird
I checked out the auction. Everything looks legit. I only posted the above because I wanted to make sure everything was ok with this transaction before you spent your money. I was very concerned because I couldn't find the item at even a close price.
I am very happy for you. You did REAL GOOD!! You will love 'em. And wow, what a memory from when I bought mine. It was the very best move I could have ever made. I tried all the big name speakers before I bought these. As everyone was talking 15" speakers at the time, I tested them out along with 12" and 10" speakers.
Each to their own, but what Jen and I noticed was, the bigger the speaker, the more crud and disturbing sounds were introduced. We used the sound of $73,000 home organs be our guide to sound as we were both in the business at the time. We were looking for a pretty and rich sound. It turns out the JBL 10 Eon G2's had that sound.
In a phone conversation with Tony Barbetta he admitted that keyboards sound better through 10" speakers. I asked him why it seemed that a good share of the keyboard players used 15" speakers if that was the case, and he laughed and said they just think they needed them.
For those that like speakers other than 10", no disrespect meant. Just a few observations and personal taste here.
The funny thing is I hadn't heard the JBL 10's. It just turned out somebody constructed a very bad auction in the wrong category even. I was the only bidder when I bid about 1 minute before the auctions end. I figured for that price I would win whether I liked them and kept them or if I sold them for a profit. Nothing to lose at the prices we got ours for Beakybird.
If they don't come with the manual, JBL will send you a copy for free.
Here's a few things that I've found that you might find helpful to try. I get the best results almost always by setting them at arm's length if I am stretching a bit from my bench slightly behind me and almost always tilted up. You will be able to hear yourself better than ever and the sound bounces off the ceiling and fills the room very nicely with nobody getting blasted in the face. Being on the floor, you will have more bass than you need. My wife has had to have me turn down the bass on occasion, even at an outside gig. I set the volume knob so that the white mark is pointing towards the number 3. Even the couple of times I personally wished I had more power in a very large hall, I was still asked to turn down.
If you do want a little more punch, I've found that using a Behringer UB82 gives some more headroom. Also, something I found rather interesting was I found when using the mixer the sound quality changed on the PSR3000 that I had to that of the Tyros in a large way. This is with the EQ set to flat.
If I had to do it over again, I would get the UB502. Smaller, cheaper and still more than I need. I rarely use mine as it is with my Tyros 2.
http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHUB502 If you want them to be easier to carry than using JBL's idea of a handle you can get some web belting from a marine supply store. I took off the front speaker plate and inserted the belt so the screws would go through it and then screw the plate back on. If you do this you'll want to singe the end of the belt and use a soldering gun to burn the hole for the screws. This will keep them from unravelling.
If you decide you want covers for them, you can get parachute bags for about $12-$15. They are the exact perfect size for them.
Anyway, just a few ideas for you to consider.
Enjoy
