replacement powered speakers

replacement powered speakers

2010-10-13 by Ken Gorman

Hi,

I searched through the archives and couldn't find a good answer.  I have a Mark 
II XG with Advent powered speakers on my Yamaha DC1.  One of the speakers 
recently, in very sensational fashion, decided it didn't want to work anymore 
(after it huffed and puffed smoke and sparks).  It was quite remarkable seeing 
the melted plastic.  Good thing the circuit breaker tripped, halting the flow of 
any more current to the shorted speaker thus avoiding and further damage. 


Now I need a replacement.  I saw a pair of M-Audio AV40 powered speakers.  Can 
anyone comment on whether these would be suitable replacements?  


Thanks for any input.

Ken

The MarkIIXG has a dual monaural output coming out of the L audio port. It does not do true stereo. If you had a pair of those Advent speakers, just plug the remaining one into the L output. If you want to replace the broken one, try Yamaha's MSP3 powered speaker they use on the MarkIVs. If you don't mind the looks or the expense, a single Yamaha MS60S works just great!!!

I am using 2 Yamaha MS60S studio monitors.  The salesman included them when I bought my DC3 MK II. Great sound, multiple inputs including microphone and they can be mounted on stands.  I will try to upload the manual to the Files section.

Bill, et al,

Those are now discontinued.  I'm using the HS80M with my DC6M4Pro and they are a nice match for the big instrument.  There is the HS50 that may be better off with the shorter grands.  But if you can stand the size I recommend these. They are a bit unsightly as they are to big to fit under the piano.  But I'm sure the MS60Ss were as well.  I much prefer a bigger speaker than those that fit as the stock speakers just don't do justice trying to match sound with the acoustic grands.  If I had my way my piano would be in the same room with as my home theater.  Which feature a pair of 750 watt Krell monoblock amplifiers mating up with Wilson X2 Alexandria speakers that are 900 pounds each and are as tall as my piano is long.  That would be a marriage made in heaven!
