Any ideas for cheaper monitors for bass player & keyboardist that still hit low end nicely, smallish, less wattage and cheaper? I love QSC K but $$'s

I am a big fan of the QSC K8 speakers. I use two for mains and two for monitors. The single speaker is a small package with clear, full rich, deep tone with presence.

I absolutely love my k10s , really well built and sound great but I use them as stage monitors , mostly for my direct to house guitar setup . If it were me though, for main I think I would go with the k12s unless I would be using the k10s in conjunction with a subwoofer , your results may vary

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

Get one of these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/rolls-pm50s-personal-monitor-amp?rNtt=rolls&index;=1 and have the tech get you a line level monitor mix up to your kit. You'll be in HEAVEN. :-)

The krk 5s are best suit for you. Small studio= small monitors. But trust me, the sound from these aren't small!

I don't use an amp with this keyboard, I just plug it into my Mac, as I use it with Pro Tools. I'm pretty sure that since it is a line out of the keyboard, you can use just about anything, with money being your only limitation. Why don't you check out a powered monitor/speaker from Yamaha or Mackie?

Hifonics has brz1200 would also be good combo and cheaper. I have two of them pushing to type r 12 inch subs wired down to 1 ohm these amps are insane for the price

My "go to" recommendation is the Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 450's. They are manufactuer discontinued, but you can still get a pair from Amazon Prime. They've got an unbelieveable response of 24 Hz to 30 kHz - - unheard of for a small book shelf speaker. The secret is a 10 inch pressure activated subwoofer mounted on the side of the unit. Best speakers I've ever heard. Don't take my word for it: go listen to a pair before you buy if you can. Max power input 225 watts. 13 inches tall and 11.44 inches deep.

I have Monitor speakers, but I would recommend you go to a speaker store and try different speakers with your favorite music. Sit approximately where you'd normally sit and close your eyes and listen to your music with the different speakers. You will find that you may not have to pay that much for speakers b/c your ears may not discern the difference between a $500 pair and a $1,000 pair. With

I dont know about mac support at all. But i have yamaha hs6 monitors and a krk 10s sub, so I have a descent guage of sound quality. I would give them like a 6.5/10 sound quality wise. They sound fine, bass is good but you can peak them out so they sound like garbage easy.

I have this keyboard and use a Roland CM-30 Cube Monitor with it. The Cube monitor works extremely well and has a very clean and unfiltered sound (which was important for me since I play mostly classical piano). It's also great since it's actually a mini PA with 3 inputs and a preamp for use with mics and other instruments.

I think focal makes a good product, but not in this price range. Also not a huge fan of coax, i prefer an external crossover. Plus the JL Audio c2's can handle double the watts for the same money, and arent made of plastic.

They're very bright a sub is recommended if you want that low end. Look into a similar priced Rockford or image dynamics if you have some extra cash.

Robb, Thanks for your input. Before I installed the Series II to its designated spot in my home, I tested them by letting them sit in my family room HT system (TSi 400, CS10, RTi4,and PSW111) but it did not sound as good as TSI400, especdially in mid range - solo violin and piano did not sound clean. As I purchased Monitor 70 as it is supposed be an old model of TSi500. I hope the SeriesII was not designed to sell a cheaper model with cheaper price. As CS10 might be the reason for a poor mid range, I will continue to figure out how to work it out.

Good for its size, yes. If you want bass you will feel, you need a subwoofer. I used the infinity 860w. It's a great speaker, compact, cheap at $48 shipped, and doesn't need a crazy amp to power it. I'm not into competition sound, so all I want is clear, full music.

I completely agree with Dr. Jenkins. You can purchase amazing speakers (with a sub woofer) for approximately $35.00 You will find the sound to be incredible for the small cost. I have a Logitech 2.1 system that I paid $32.00 for about 4 years ago and it has unbelievable quality and power. Amazon has a vast selection of great products. Just type in 2.1 computer speakers in the search bar.
