Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Nick,

after some research. I bought 2 Wharfdale Pro powered monitors. 
(£500)  THier frequency reange is good and thier power is 200 RMS 
each which would bee slightly lowder than an acustic Kit. ( I had to 
purachse a mixer as well inorder to give enough gain to the power 
amps. )

It now sounds very sweet eapecially loud.
