wow! thanks for all the helpful comments so far! This forum is really helpful. Lots to think about...and try out, of course. I was wondering about the mono option. For example, investing in one to start out with. The DZR really jumps up in price from the DXRs. A friend of mine just lent me a couple of Yamaha DBR10s which I'm going to use for a gig next week. That'll give me a good idea, but would really like to check out the DXRs and QSCs sometime soon.

Hello, I'm looking for an amplification system for my Yamaha CP88. After much research, it seems that speakers like the Yamaha DBR, DXR or QSC might be the way to go, but am interested in more feedback before I invest. My budget is around $1600. I'm mainly interested in using the acoustic piano sounds. I've tried the Roland KC 550, and although it sounded OK for organ/synth sounds, the acoustic sounds come out "boxey." I've noticed the same with a pair of Electro-Voice speakers used in a PA system. I play with other acoustic instruments, like violin, clarinet, cello, an acoustic guitar, some percussion, so am really trying to sound as acoustic and clear as possible. I don't need a lot of power, as the other instruments are not amplified. I'm looking for quality and clarity of sound, which will bring out the harmonics of the digital piano samples. Any suggestions?
