For speakers, it really depends on how you work... If you want to shake the
walls, I'd recommend a nice bass cabinet and amp with built-in compressor
(so you don't go blowing holes in the speakers accidentally). Look for a cab
with 4x10-inch speakers for a start, I find that combination really
satisfies. You can also find keyboard speakers, but these don't tend to
deliver the deep WHOOMPH in my experience. Near-field monitors and consumer
speakers will blow at higher volumes, whereas a bass cabinet will stand up
to some heavy abuse. Near-field monitors are ∗supposed∗ to give you the most
accurate sound however (although - cheaper NF monitors can be just as
colored as any consumer speakers, so... as always, listen before you buy).
best,
