A few years back, I read that good bass amps with a tweeter can be the best keyboard amp one can have. Well, I tried out different bass amps, and I liked this rather expensive CMD 102P bass amp by an Italian company Markbass. Back then, 1t was $1,200. Before I bought it, I took a Roland accordion dealer in our area to GC for him to try it out. Here he is playing his Roland accordion through the CMD 102P. He never stopped playing. A short video I took with my iPad Air. So the sound quality is not captured. http://vid727.photobucket.com/albums/ww276/torch/IMG_0130.mp4

We did an AB test with the QSC12 and others. I was shocked that they were all muddy and dead in comparison with the CMD 102P This thing was live, vibrant, and very powerful.
I kept it for a while but I wanted to go stereo, and moved onto something else.

I think that ship sailed with the upgrades in powered speakers. I do think however the new Behringer KXD15 is interesting because of the mixer and weight.

Good playing BTW.
