Keyboard Amp question

Post by mididiot »

Is anyone using the LINE 6 STAGESOURCE L2T or L3T as their keyboard speaker? I'm considering one.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe try the "Amplification and Accessories" section of this forum? Or maybe head over to Keyboard Corner and ask there? Broader audience.

They had extremely good review in a former issue of keyboard magazine, just goggle it....Very hifi sounding, they were saying that it's like having a Stage Monitor with the Quality of a Studio monitor, I think, even better than the QSC, but they are expensive...

I just got them. My Nord has never sounded this good. Amazing speakers. No regrets.

Good work! I keep telling people "spend money on decent speakers, it's worth it", so I'll add your experience as yet another example. Warning: it can get addictive.

Hi - One question about the QSC 8.2 that so many recommend. I have no doubt that they play fantastic turned up, but I wonder how the play in low volume. My small hobby room where I play every day in my house is only like 8 m^2 and the speakers are place right in ear height in front of me. So will they play good in low volume, or will they be noisy or just blow out my ears (and annoy everyone else in the house)?
Today I use a pair of Yamaha HS7 - and they are good practice speakers, but nothing for playing for others. So I also have a SpaceStation v3.. Would be nice (and good economy) if I only needed one pair of good speakers - QSC 8.2

Honest answer? I don't know. All of my amplification, including QSCs, are intended to be played at volume. Never tried it in your setting. I think it would work ... but cannot vouch for it.

Not as good as your Yamaha studio speakers. The QSC's are designed for PA use not nearfield monitoring.
