Just curious. What speakers do you use that weigh just 25lbs.? I'm always looking for ways to get lighter
Thanks
Bill
Hi Bill,
I am using two Yamaha MS60S powered monitors...they are short throw, 60 watt, and I'm not sure if they are being made anymore...they were in production a very long time, as the design was pretty well spot on.
I wouldn't use them in a club environment, unless it was quite small; they are perfect for what I do, which is
restaurant music...the short throw being advantageous, so that those who don't want to listen can just sit a bit farther away.
They were pricey when I got them, which was at least around 20 years ago...about $700 Canadian (each), but, they were well worth the investment, as they are nigh on bulletproof, and have worked perfectly ever since purchased.
The heaviest piece of gear I now have is the Tyros4, which is roughly 30 lbs or so...that's my limit nowadays...my back isn't the best from many years of martial arts, and also lugging big keyboards and sound systems, a lot of the times after too much imbibing. Truth be told, I'm also getting a lot lazier.
Several friends of mine use the Yamaha Stagepas 500 and are very happy with it...one guy uses a sub with his, but it sounds pretty good on it's own.
I've taken the winter off for personal gigs, but I am considering a pair of Bose Compacts late in the spring when I may go back.
