An update to my earlier post. I'm constantly searching for the "perfect solution" to getting on stage stereo keyboard sound. I think I finally found it. My problem lately has been not enough room on various stages to place my two Eons. Plus placing two big Eon's just for keys in a small room visually looks like overkill. Two examples are a nice medium size lounge with a small stage where there's room for my keys and one speaker next to the drummer. No space at all for the 2nd one and a big band gig at a country club where we were against a wall, no stage and I was with the drummer right next to the main entrance to the room. No possibility of a 2nd speaker there either. I kept thinking about the nicer arranger keyboards with their built in speakers and how great they sound to the player and I kept thinking how can I duplicate that? I'm not worried about stereo out to the audience because they'll never notice even if it's possible to set that up properly, it's just for me.

I finally bought a pair of Behringer 208D's small powered 8" 200W speakers. I was concerned because a lot of people say Behringers are crap but they cost about a third of what QSC or Yamaha 8" DXR powered speakers cost. They were on sale at Walmart for $111 each. An absolute steal. I can now say they sound great and the idea works perfect. I put the two speakers on the floor on each side of the keyboard pointed back at me and I have one powered Eon behind me for power. I get perfect stereo and the audience gets the Eon. Excellent. These little Beri's are very loud. At a big band rehearsal last week I had to turn them down because I was getting blasted.

I tested these at home and they roll off the bass at around 120hz, not good if I were using these by themselves but with my 15" Eon, no problem.

I may have finally found my solution and for cheap too.
