Hi
Looking for recommendations. I play at home, so portablility isn't a factor. I am looking for clean sound & good power - I play a little loud at times I have Event 20/20bas monitors now but one seems fried. What I liked about them - very good sound. What I didn't like - big, very defined sweet spot, not too reliable (fried after less than 2 years!). Any advice is welcome.
Tom

Are you looking for a keyboard amp or near feild monitors? If your looking for an actual keyboard amp Roland makes a good one that is fairly loud.

To stereo or not to stereo, that is the question. If you play keyboards or even guitar that uses stereo type effects you are missing a lot if you use a dedicated keyboard amp. If you are just fooling around or gigging small venues then a keyboard amp with a 15" is good ,I like the Roland too, but sold mine to upgrade.The new Fender passport system is hard to beat for just a solo gig or playing at home and is a good alternative to the Roland amps because you go out in stereo. If your doing any kind of recording at all then I would NEVER use a mono amp. The events are pretty decent speakers by most accounts for home recording. It really very subjective when it comes to what a good monitor is. If you want one of the best and have the $ go for Mackie.
I have a couple of Communitys on sticks coupled to a 1000watt amp and thats all the loud you will ever want at home.
