Re: RD700GX versus OLD 700 - honky mids?? in RD-700 / 800 series · 8 Jul 2010

Just picked up my new RD 700-GX this past December. Had an older Fender keyboard amp, but it was mono, without stereo. After renting a PA system, I was sold on this option. Have since purcahsed the Yamaha Stage Pass 500...

Re: Art-new SuperNatural upgrade in RD-700 / 800 series · 25 Jan 2010

Hi John, I saw it on a site named Bananas Music.com, for a pre-order price of $299. I'm looking at picking one up also, but will probably wait until it's available in Canada here, through one of our retail chains. I have...

As a proud new owner of an RD-700GX (1 month), I am really looking forward to this! Thanks for the heads up Art!

Re: Speakers for RD 700-GX in RD-700 / 800 series · 10 Jan 2010

Thanks Delirium. The HS 80's might be better choice than the Stagepass 500? Do the Yamaha's have decent bottom end? Will I need to buy a subwoofer?

Re: Speakers for RD 700-GX in RD-700 / 800 series · 9 Jan 2010

Thanks John! That's quite the good deal. I listened to Yamaha HS80's today in a music store. Not bad at all. They are probably in the same range as your Rokit 8's. I've read a lot of great reviews on the Rokits.

Re: Speakers for RD 700-GX in RD-700 / 800 series · 9 Jan 2010

I'm also looking at the KRK Rokit 8's, which John has spoken to in one this thread. Long & McQuade will have them in over the next week and I hope to try them out. Currently I'm renting a pair of Yorkville NX25P's, which...

John & dbijoux, Thanks again guys. This is great advice for one who is somewhat of a newbie to this scene. I've had a Yamaha Clavinova since 1992 and added a 1991version of a Roland Sound canvas in 1998/99. Since then, m...

Re: Speakers for RD 700-GX in RD-700 / 800 series · 4 Jan 2010

John, do the Rokit 8's have plenty of volume for a home environment?

Re: Speakers for RD 700-GX in RD-700 / 800 series · 3 Jan 2010

Thanks guys, this is helpful. As noted before, I am leaning towards the Stagepass 500, they are about $950 cdn for the pair.
