Keyboard amps for electronic drums

2003-08-05 by drumzilla

Any of you have experience with either of the following keyboard amps:

Peavey KB4 (Single 15" w/horn.)
Peavey KB5 (2@ 10"/with horn)
Behringer KX1200 (3-way: 15"/5"/tweeter)

The Behringer is far & away the least expensive, and it is a three-
way system, which I like. Trouble is, I've heard that quality is 
iffy with this amp despite the fact it's German-built.

The Peavey KB5 is the most expensive, and the twin 10" speakers would 
give me 20" of total speaker area dedicated to low/mid frequencies. 
Five more than the 15" in the Peavey KB4.

All three amps have PA capability & multi-channels, so other signal 
sources can be managed through them, and they're all capable of 
acting as stage monitors when using e-drums live. Like I said 
though, the Behringer reputedly has quality problems. AND...I can't 
get ahold of one to demo whereas I CAN demo the Peaveys at a local 
shop.

If you guys have got some hours logged in with any of these amps I'd 
appreciate your input, or recommendations for other amps, for that 
matter.
