I think Steve has nailed it! Kind of an expensive personal
monitor, but he is quite right. If you want to rely on the
KP-200S for enough stage volume to fill the particular
venue in which you are playing, then you will be disappointed.
Ya oughta go with the JBL Eon or some such...

Yep...me too....a mighty big set of headphones...nyuk-nyuk.

I agree...

Dan ..

I treat my KBR-3D pretty much the same way. When the room and crowd gets
large and I am going to have to compete against the stage volume of the
guitars and bass, I just don't bother anymore. I too put the 3D in an amp
stand facing me so I can hear myself and send the 2 XLR's to the main board.
Then it is their problem.
However occasionally in the wedding band I play in we play for crowds of
100 or less. Now i let the 3D do it's thing by turning it toward the people
and let the 3D shine in wonderful stereo.
