WOW!!! What a difference the PreSonus Eris E3.5 BT speakers make. Just arrived, set them up on my CGP-700, and was blown away. My keyboard now sounds better than it did with headphones. Brad ... I can’t thank you enough for steering me toward a pair of studio monitors. I haven’t even played around with the controls yet, but just out of the box they sound fantastic. This will make playing so much more enjoyable. I got them off of Amazon. Now that I know they work, I’ll order speaker stands.

Thanks for your suggestions, Brad. So something like the Presonus Eris 3.5” near field monitor speakers set up with a wide spread for best stereo effect should work. (Will get the Bluetooth version to also use for music on my MacBook Air and IPad.)

I only use my CGP-700 at home, but agree that the sound with all six speakers isn’t that great. It just doesn’t come across nearly as ‘rich’ as it does with headphones which are a nuisance. I tried reversing the speakers against a wall, but still disappointing. Has anyone added a keyboard amp/speaker for home use that makes a significant difference? I was looking at the Behringer Ultratone K900FX - pricey, but seems to offer lots of features that might make the keyboard sound more enjoyable. Any other suggestions for an amp system?
