I don't know the technical reasons for this. Someone else can probably explain why it is.

A couple of things come to mind about this. I remember playing in a very large hall with high ceiling. It was kind of like a gymnasium. It was one live room, a lot of echo etc. I went out front to listen to my demo for a sound check and it didn't sound that good. I hooked up the mixer, which I always leave set to flat, and the change in sound quality and projection improved noticibly. Even my wife who was totally skeptical about it was so surprized her face dropped.

I also remember trying it at home on the Tyros and the PSR3000, again only set to flat. Both sounded better. Richer and cleaner, crisper. The 3000 which is great does not sound identical to the Tyros. When I tried it on the 3K, to me the sound quality improved to about the Tyros on like instruments and styles. Of course the 3K doesn't have all the same sounds available and some of the sounds with the same name are different. BUT, what was the same improved to a much more agreeable sound.

Try one just as a test. Set if flat. I'd be curious to see what your slant is on it after that. You can always return the mixer, if you get it from someone with a return policy.

The speakers came today. They look brand new. They came in the original box with cables and owners manuals. But not with the original packing material.

I will start performing with them in a couple of days. I'm waiting for the gig bags to come.

Beaky..way to go...on your deal..

Scott , I have to disagree with you and Tony[if it was stated as he said, or maybe out of context]..

Two 10's were considered to be idea for bass, for clarity..but in the real world...15's still rule...

Low to moderate levels..10's and 12's seem to be tighter and clear...why... for the most part the frequency range usually drop down to about 50-60...ok for mid range bass, but not good enough for live sound..

When using 15's..more air is moved and fills up the room better, and the biggy is the lower bass response.
The ideal 15 set up would require a 3 way design with a Horn and tweeter...rare today with two system designs..

I still use my 3 way Rolands [15, horn and tweeter]..Bass response goes down to 38[I don't even need a sub woofer with them]..the mids[horn] and highs[tweeter] project well...

Ideally the 15's are better at higher volumes..My Rolands come alive at higher levels[I actually prefer them to anything new when they are pushed a little]..

Beaky your venues the speakers you just got are going to work great..I just can't see them in any dance oriented venues.

Donny and I gave all the top new models a good test [comparison], and we came away with the same opinion...He bought the Mackies [450's]..

Scott I have used all the top twin 10's as well as 12's..Probably the best twin 10's I used were the Yorkville 300 keyboard amp[stereo]

Sometimes "Bigger is better".......

You are definitely right, Fran. If I'm going to do a large, outdoor picnic or an auditorium, and if I'm getting paid enough, I'm definitely going to rent a subwoofer - about $15 for a day.

I hosted a wedding in our backyard where we built a dance floor. My MS100's have the same bass response as the Eon10's. I rented a subwoofer that shook the ground. Wow, did it sound fantastic.

You need that deep bassy sound for today's dance music. I don't think people needed it so much in the '70's and previously, but now, you just need it. For that deep bassy sound, I definitely acknowledge that 10" woofers do not cut it.
