Subject:Re: Carvin 3 way speakers for keyboards? need some advice

I have the Carvin LM153's with a Peavey XR8600 600watt/channel powered mixer that we use for bar gigs that I thought(hoped) might be a nice keyboard rig. Nadda- for vocals, this p.a. sounds EXCELLENT, not so much for keys though. The K10's really are an excellent choice- a pair of those and a mixer-look out-

You may want to look at 3 way bass cabs from acme or accugroove. The accugroove
stuff has had very good reviews on this forum. The acme is similar but less
expensive. Another alternative may be a good powered speaker such as a QSC
K8/10/12- use the monitor or pre out on your mixer or run direct. You can also
get a pair of EV ZXA1's for about the same price and run stereo which will give
you a much more open and spacious sound better for keys. Don't let the 19lb EV's
fool you- they are serious amplification and sound quality in a 19lb (ea)
package.

I'm playing with a Korg cx3 and Studiologic controller with a motif rack. I've
been using a Roland kc500, but am not really happy with the sound or the power
(150w). I have a Mackie 808 power mixer head and am looking for a speaker to use
with it. I like the idea of a 3 way speaker for better clarity of the keyboard
sounds, and Carvin seems to be the only company that makes this kind of cabinet
(15inch woofer, 6 inch mid, 1 1/2 inch tweeter). Carvin offers a wooden cab
(wood is poplar) and a neodymium speaker/plastic cab. Anyone have any experience
with this kind of set up or with Carvin speakers specifically.

Thanks for any and all insight,

Steve
