Re: External speaker systems for disklavier

<<The problem is that audio output level from the Disklavier is too  low for 
your surround system. In your email you stated that the CD player sounds  good 
through the surround system. The output on the CD player is much higher  than 
the Disklavier.

I recommend purchasing a Rolls MX28 Mixer. You can  purchase the mixer on the 
Internet for about $75.00.>>
 
Bill,  
 
I wanted to belatedly thank you for this information. I had written  
immediately before going away for a few weeks, then came back and hurt my ankle  and 
was just behind in everything and not feeling too great as I was on crutches  
and in a foot brace for a month with torn ligaments.
 
But the info you provided was very helpful to me in understanding. I  have 
not yet gotten a mixer, as I am not certain I am going to keep the system I  
have now setup there. But at least I have ideas on how to proceed in getting a  
good and more powerful sound. I also have some equipment lying around that I  
need to dig out before I buy another mixer.
 
Incidentally, if you have any knowledge in this area, would a small  
amplifier work to boost the sound between the disklavier and the input to  the 
surround system?
 
I have no idea if one can put 2 amplifiers in a row, or if that would cause  
distortion or be dangerous in some way! I ask as I have a small one sitting  
around that I could try.
 
Once again thanks for your detailed reply. I felt bad every time I though t  
about not thanking you and I just had to find time to sort through all those  
emails to find the right one!  

Blessings,
Wanda
