Just so everyone knows I'm not biased against Yorkville, My keyboard amp
setup sonsists of a Yorkville 1600 ( 800W/side )powered mixer, two
Yorkville Elite 10"/horn cabinets, and my two piece chopped, un-powered
147. I can go out either in stereo without the Leslie, or with the Leslie
and one Elite cabinet. The Yorkville powered mixer is compact, powerful
and bulletproof.
Very loud, very clean, and also very roadworthy. The K4 did not have the
same high quality feel or sound IMHO. I've never been able to find a used
300K......
