Re: [disklavier] External Speakers for MX100IIXG

2010-01-10 by Carol Beigel

My suggestion is that you buy new powered speakers.  Usually, the better 
quality the sound, the uglier they are!  I own a MarkIIXG.  The output is 
dual monaural, so you don't really need a set of stereo speakers unless you 
want the same sound coming from two different places. Ensemble sounds are 
not audio, but MIDI instruments (data run through a synthesizer), and that 
is why you need powered speakers.
