I didn't think that the intent of my post was to compare a rotating speaker
with a static speaker. It is "just not fair" to think that that was what I
meant!! :-)
I still stick by my opinion that it is a good idea to have a powerful
speaker that you have at a louder volume and then a monitor depending on
what kind of sound reinforcement that the band uses. As I am sure that
everybody here on the forum know, too many times, especially at smaller gigs
that the keyboards are not going through a larger system and the only
keyboard sound is what is coming out of your amplifier. It is especially
hard to get a good mix when there are vocals involved that are coming from
both sides of the stage, but you are just coming out one side.

Mike,

I am afraid that I have to disagree with you.

Comparing a Rotating system to a combo amp is just not fair.

I have been using a Barbetta 41c with my CX3 using the simulator
and my Yamaha S80. It is loud, clean, and "headphone true to sound,
and it does have a more complete soundfield than a PA type speaker
(i.e., Mackie 450s or JBL Eons).

Besides the narrower field of the 450s and Eons I did not think that they
were true to sound (Mackie to much treble and JBL to much bass and not
enough adjustments).

I now play organ with a Motion Sound Pro 145, but this speaker projects
in 3D, i.e., 50% out the front, 20% out each side and 10% out the back.
So comparing a Barbetta (or any other combo speaker) again "is just not
fair".

I love both my Pro 145 for organ and the Barbetta 41c for piano synth.
