Re: Powered speaker recommendation
After trying lots of combinations, I use a pair of QSC K10's. Great, even response. Stereo changes the universes for the acoustic pianos!

Re: Powered speaker recommendation
I've been playing a C2D thru a QSC 12 for a few years, now. 1000W with 2 inputs. I also sing thru it. Absolutely love it. Tons of power and deep bass if I need more. I'm a jazzer so I play left hand bass. I've played elec pianos thru it as well, with same great experience. 15" is just not necessary.

QSC K10s as home/stage hybrid?
Recently I have been looking to upgrade my home practicing and stage monitors. I'm currently using a pair of Behringer B212D's which are ok on stage but honestly quite horrible anywhere else. I found a pair of QSC K10s for sale for 650 € (pretty good deal?). There is clearly a lot of love for K.2s here so I assume someone has done some comparing.
- How big is the difference between Ks and K.2s in lower volumes?
- Would K10s be any good for more quiet practicing at home?

BAND:
I play my Nord Electro 5D73 through a Yamaha 12-channel board. With bands, I mix my own keyboard through my Yamaha and from the main-out, I give the sound Engineer an XLR cable into the main board. I tell the sound engineer to input my sound dry (no effects) and midrange on all frequencies. In this scenario, I use the QSC as a monitor, which I control from my Yamaha monitor out. I always want to control my own keyboard monitor unless the sound engineer is very professional.
SOLO, DUO:
IF I play solo, or with my violinist-fiddle player, one 12" QSC K12.2, 2000 watt speaker is good for vocals, keys and fiddle through my board and K12. This is my favorite setup because I control my own sound using the K12 behind and not pointing towards microphones to avoid feedback. Basically, the K12 is main and monitor in this scenario.

Re: Powered speaker recommendation
I have two "powered speakers" that I use with the C2D. I prefer #1, but #2 can get crazy loud with lots of bass if needed.
#1 - Leslie 122:
