The Behringer has the benefit of being cheap and apparently working 
well with e-drums for practice. I doubt that it was made with e-drums 
in mind; any decent keyboard amp will perform adequately with e-
drums. The dedicated Yamaha sub/satellite systems do not get good 
ratings here and elsewhere--a shame, since they're competitively 
priced. The Rolands sound and perform well (at home), but they carry 
a heavy price tag. I just spent some time with the Bose PAS system, 
which is top notch for both home and stage, but it's pricey, too. 
One, however, with a sub module, might be able to accommodate the 
Mose family band.
