Thanks for the info. Lots to think about. Would prefer to just bring as little equipment as possible. The fewer things I have to plug in the better.

Thanks Everyone. I play mostly trio, quartet gigs. Occasionally with a big band. I just want to bring one speaker if possible and a keyboard. The speaker would be all inclusive, not only a monitor but the band would have to hear it as well. The Nord sounds great with headphones but terrible through the amps I am using now (an old Roland cube with another newer quite small amp. Any comments about the Kawai ES 120.

Hi Everyone. I am a new member. 73 year old professional jazz pianist. Currently playing a Nord Electro V. Looking for lightweight speaker/amp (20 lbs or less). Friend told me about the EVZXa1, but when I went to the local store here in Black Mountain, NC (guitar center) the saleman indicated this speaker would not give me enough high end. I play mostly acoustic piano sounds, Rhodes sounds and Hammond organ sounds. At this point I am not happy with the Nord and am also thinking of trading it in for the Kawai ES120. Unfortunately where I live there is no place I can try this keyboard hands on. Wondering what the community has to say about these issues, questions. Thanks in advance. michaeljefrystevens.com
