Hi David, sorry for the late response. I HIGHLY recommend not every buying a dedicated keyboard amp. Sounds crazy right? Why? Most are way way too heavy and don’t sound good, especially those Roland keyboard amps. I use two QSC 8.2’s on nearly every smaller type, around town, gigs I do. They are powered PA speakers and weigh comparatively very little. I can lift both of them easily on each hand. And they’re 2000 watts. They are expensive so you can find cheaper ones from other brands that have the same tech. It’s what I think is called “D class” amps that can deliver the watts and weigh a hell of a lot less than older amps. PA speakers have little to no EQ control and have no other effects but most keyboards today have plenty of EQ on board so you do not need EQ on the amps. Even just one of these above mentioned PA monitors sound great, but two is amazing!
I’d like to hear about what you plan to do on this!
Matt
