It seems I'm having trouble googling stereo amps as some other type of amp comes out which I don't think is suitable for live setting.
I only came across these three so far are these legit choices for a stereo amp for the NS3?

Motion Sound KP-500SN 500w 2×12″ Keyboard Amp

Re: Ideas for stereo setting in band/group ensemble
There isn't much out there in stereo amps, most people are just using two amps/powered speakers. Some run there KB's stereo outs to the PA and then just have one speaker onstage for a monitor. As some mentioned they use IEMs to monitor themselves. They do it because KB's in mono don't sound that good, also limited choice of mono sounds available. The other issue is using the Mono switch on a KB or running both L & R into one amp, or just running one side of the stereo sound. When you run a stereo sound into a mono the two sides when summed to together start canceling out different frequencies. Some sounds when summed don't cancel as much as others so again reducing your choice of sounds. So in long run just easier to run stereo and get all the sound.Winds wrote:It seems I'm having trouble googling stereo amps as some other type of amp comes out which I don't think is suitable for live setting.
