I got a used KX-80 for 200.00 including shipping from a place that sells over the Internet. (Galaxy Music) The KX80 is a Crate keyboard amp, 80 watt with a 15 in speaker. It sounds great and is just right for basement or garage type playing. I've heard that a keyboard amp is a 'must' if you want the full range of sounds that the set can produce, and to get the best bass drum response you need at least a 15" speaker.
