Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

It appears you have decided, I hope it works out... but for what it's 
worth I had brought my DR5 "rythm machine" to my buddies with the 
truth monitors and hooked them up real ghetto (headphone out straight 
to the back of the monitors) I must say it was loud enough for 
that... BUT I was looking at them for using with the drum machine NOT 
a E-Drum kit!  They definately had punch and the low end seemed to be 
there and it was pretty loud and more importantly clear. BUT I wasn't 
thinking E-drums and I can't recall what they would be like with the 
E-drums... but you definately don't want to be transporting studio 
monitors for a live gig! so if you need that I would go with 
something that can get bumped around with out you biting your lip 
everytime!

If you are starting to second guess yourself and have a couple of 
weeks, when I get my kit in.. should be next week.. I will borrow 
those monitors and jam through them and see.. I'll even hook up bass 
and guitar through my 1202 to see how much they can take in 
a "jamming" enviroment.
