Subject:Re: 18 watt amps, was Q's re Pro3TM/Low Pro & Pro 145 Stereo Pair...

I am new to this group ( ANY GROUP actually )
My name is John. I play professionally keyboards.

I am struggling with amplification with keyboards in
general.
What you say about low watt amps really working
And 2, IN STEREO, really resonates with me.
I have an XK3 clone and a Kurz for piano
Any thoughts for amplifying the organ. I own a 145,
but due to circumstances cannot move it.
My email is birdtrane2003 my name is John.
Thank you
