  1. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and takes a dump like a duck, it's probably a duck. It is very unlikely to magically transform into an elegant swan in less than 24hrs. Having said that, I personally have nothing against ducks. I like ducks. But ducks are not swans and never will be.
  2. Anyone know what the Canadian pricing for the PC88 is? I asked my local dealer but he hasn't received any info yet.
  3. I'm not sure how much I like the CP88. The UI is very cool but the tone generation tech is underwhelming. The action is OK but definitely nothing special. If I had to buy a stage piano in the next 2 months, I'd probably get either the similarly priced RD2000 (+100) or the MP11SE (+300). Especially If I will use it in the studio for the most part and not have to move it often. The CP88 is still a very good option for the gigging musician who is always on the move and needs something more portable. Having said, the RD2000 weighs only 6lbs (47lbs vs 41lbs) more than the CP88, but the action and tone generation tech in it is in my mind better than what's in the CP88.
  4. It's not that simple. Woofer size does not necessarily indicate "better" low end. Bigger woofers typically tend to provide more volume than lower frequency response. Bass response is dictated by cabinet design (things like is the box sealed? Ported? Bass reflex?) as well as the materials in the woofer itself - a paper cone does not sound like a polypropylene cone does not sound like an aluminum cone, etc. Also, the quality of the amplifier being used with the driver in question and how its artifacts are compensated for in the design of the monitor has an effect on the sound. ...and then there's the subject of what "better low end" means... dB Thanks for the clarification on this matter. I wasn't being very precise with my language. Having said that I still believe that the LP-6's are great studio monitors for the price. They're definitely not the best if cost is no object, but price to specs ratio is good.
  5. If you are budget conscious, the JBL 305p/306p MKII or older LSR305 models are an excellent choice. Also have a look at the Kali Audio's LP-6s. They're have 6.5" woofers so slightly better lower end than the JBLs and only cost $150 each. High end is pretty decent. I'd say they're the best monitors than you can get for under $500. Finally be sure to have a look at the Yamaha HS5/HS7s and Adam Audio T5V/T7Vs.
