Subject:RE: Roland KC-500 Weaknesses?

Dan,

Aldready read your comment but totally forgot it..!

Well, actually I consider trying my JBL with the EON and see if I can do
something... Switching for a KC-500 wouldn't save me money and wouldn't
give me a better sound I guess..

Thanks for the input.. I play too in bands (jazz/funk gigs) power isn't
always an issue... but if I come to play live, I guess that mght be helpful!
