i use to think the same way about speakers in the Casio. Then I hear about these 40watt speakers. Thought to my self, "Maybe I'll finally hear my self in STERO ON STAGE." Yea I know, you can take to a gig two powered monitors, two stands, all the extra wire and power drop bowes to plug in ALL THAT EXTRA STUFF. SCEW IT! I've changed my mind. Casio should totally get on this, much like the car manufactures did, by going full force on the radio that comes in your car. HOT ROD KILLER SPEAKERS IN YOUR FACE! They'll have to put a defeat switch so as to monitor a band mix , or what ever.
