This one's doing my head in, and any help is greatly appreciated:
I need a live keyboard amp with volume, as I play a lot of private event gigs in locations without proper sound reinforcement, so my amp is often the only output I get, and I'm competing with guitar amps, drums, etc. I had been using a Roland KC 350, something of an industry standard, but it couldn't quite handle the output I often needed, resulting in several blown tweeters and less than audible performances... I've tried a bunch of things since -- the Fishman Loudbox Performer (great sound, but also couldn't handle the SPL's) and most recently the QSC K8 and K10 PA speakers, neither of which seem to get quite as loud as the Roland, even with the gain knobs maxed out. Which is strange, since the Roland is only 120W, while the QSC's are 1000W with much higher max SPL specs.
I'm not really sure where to go from here short of a massive PA speaker that would be impractical to transport and less than ideal sounding at low to moderate volumes. I need something with a full frequency response, which rules out guitar amps and the like. Maybe the QSC speaker can handle more than its volume knob produces, so I could consider a boost pedal or something? Even my sales rep told me he wouldn't really know what to recommend if the QSC didn't do the trick.
Any suggestions? Thanks much!
