Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi!!  
  
I just got my DTXPress (first model, used), and I have to say that  
IT'S WONDERFUL. I love it.  
  
Anyway, I'm tired of playing with headphones, and some people  
had recommended me:  
  
*  Behringer KX1200  
  
or  
  
* Behringer Ultrawave B300  
  
Have you guys have one of these babies for your drumming  
pleasure? What's your advice?  
  
(all info is on www.behringer.com)

I prefer the sound of my near - field monitors,  Yorkville YSM-1s over any keyboard amp or PA cabinet.   They 're bout $200 a pair. The 
powered version is about $425 a pair.  M-audio, Behringer and a few other companies make some inexpensive powered monitors too.  I 
think I saw a Musicians Friend catalog selling Samson powered monitors for $199 a pair.  Not only can you listen to your drums  on them 
but  you can use them to mix  with and listen to CD's on.

I'll ask for the yorkvilles in the music shop, thanks. 
 
By the way, I have an old power amplifier (200W RMS, 4 Ohm, mono). 
Do you think that I can just go with a non-powered monitor whith 
that?

The Behr. KX1200 has rcvd bad press both here and elsewhere. I can 
confirm that the KX1200 does indeed distort badly. I picked the unit 
up (barely)used/dirt cheap and only use it as a monitor in my 
office/studio, so Im not completely heartbroken. Im sure I'll upgrade 
eventually though.

 I own the non-powered ones under-powered by a 40w /channel NAD amp.
It's too bad you only have a mono amp but it will definately work.  You also get a 2 year warranty where you can drive over the thing and 
get a replacement free of charge.  I have not read one single opinion or review that didn't like these speakers.  The only drag that I can 
think of is that not many stores carry Yorkville in the US.
Good Luck,
Jun

I've picked two celestion qx-153, used. I've tested them with my 
power amplifier, and they sound good to me. I think I will buy 
them.
