External speakers?

[PianoTruck]

Any suggestions on external speakers or studio monitors for the px s1000

I've tried a couple different sets (none over $300) and also a keyboard amp, and have not been happy with the muddled sound they have all produced especially in bass chords.

If you want more volume, first try setting Keyboard Touch to -2 and you will be surprised how much more you get.

 

The stock speakers actually sound pretty fantastic for 16 watts....and it just doesn't make sense to spend $500+ on a $750 keyboard, unless you need it for paid gigs.

I came to this EXACT same conclusion, the default setting is not  ideal, you get a lighter touch, more clarity, and , no compromise in sensitivity  with minus 2 (my preferred  setting)  The difference in sound is actually fairly dramatic, from  slightly muffled to clear.  The ability to tweak this is fantastic, like a new keyboard!
