Hi Sparky, there’s quite a few differences, less styles , less sounds, no chord looper. If you are considering an sx of some sort, be worth doing a comparison of features on the Yamaha site.
Someone mentioned may not have the scat voices either, I can’t confirm that.

I've read or seen about most differences; this was first I've heard about speakers. That's a disappointment.

They have to cut down somehow..
or as a marketing strategy to hold back some features
to force the buying of the Sx900. Personally I shut off on-board speakers so I can play thru my sound system to get the sound
I want and so much better for tweaking, editing etc, if you ever play out too .., for example why doesn't Genos have speakers? ...
get my point? Also there is always the headphone option also.
But, I can see Yamaha's point targeting HOME PLAYERS with on-board speakers on MOTL units too.

Thanks, Rikki:

Speakers don't matter to me as long as the board has options to connect them and to use headphones as well.

All the best, ----Dave

Yes, and if look at the price difference between SX7- and 900, it's quite big,
so I guess some major differences is to expect.
🎵 It's all about money, money, money ... 🎵 🤑
... and probably also to hit the market.

and save a few bucks there vs Sx700..same with the genos, etc, etc,

Ouch. All caps, really? There's another power singer/pro zinger. Thanks for that one. Guess we misguided pros who use monitor speakers have been doing it all wrong these years. Maybe, now that you're a home player you can fix all the others who don't know how long to keep an instrument.

Seriously, my friend, you are way too judgmental for someone who clearly has no idea of what he wants. Your remarks are so disparaging, I'm a little embarrassed for you. Please try to lay off the "holier than thou" bit ... it's getting old. I'm not going to fight with you, because I respect our friendship, but I had to call you out on your latest remarks. I'm worried about you, now that you don't play out any more. You seem to lack direction. I'd like to see you settle into something that actually makes you happy.

Thank you AGAIN for your Negativity Dave...

and don't worry about me or my direction,...
that said please wipe me from your list of so called friends
you broke the olive branch this time. Thanks for nothing.
I'm done with you and will not reply to you any longer.
