According to this this shop in England the estimated selling price of the 61 keys version of the PA3X will be 2900 pounds that's 3500 Euro.

No change in the world I will pay that amount of money for an arranger. If it will really cost that much Korg can stick the PA3X in their ... well you know what I mean.

Typical TOTL arranger prices in the UK

Tyros 4 £3217

PA2x £2150 – 2500

Audya £3999

So if the price of the PA3x is correct, it’s about par for the course. (And let’s face it, Yamaha are selling T4s as fast as they can make them)

If its true then the PA3X 61 keys will cost 1500 Euro more then the PA800. That's ridiculous. The list price of the PA800 is 2300 Euro and you can buy him at the moment for 1800 Euro.

I dont think the Pa3x (61) is a direct replacement for the PA800. It is a replacement for the PA2x but just a 61 key version.

I predict a PA800 replacement will come out with built in speakers / only 3 sliders (not 9) etc and it will keep the same price that the PA800 was when it came out.

Spot on NIck smile

The PA800 is discontinued.

The new arranger series is JUST the PA3. It comes in either a 61 note or 76 note version. That's it!!!

Whether Korg decide to release a cheaper downmarket version "similar" to the PA500, is yet to be determined.

Although one thing, I WISH they would put the keybed from the 73 note Kronos in instead... Imagine having those beautiful fully weighted keys to play mmmmmmm

Not so good for more Synth players who need the fast action keybed wink

I thought I had read somewhere that the PA3X 61 was the replacement of the PA800 but I could be wrong.

Anyway if these prices are correct then the Kronos with 61 keys is almost 1000 Euro cheaper then the PA3x with 61 keys.

I agree it sucks - the Motif XF61 is about $1500-$2000 AUD cheaper than the Tyros 4

Yes if these prices are right my choice is made and that's a Roland BK-7M for 850 Euro at woodbrass and keep my PA500.

Sorry Korg
