I am considering buying a Yamaha Mo8 and i know nothing about amps, so i was wondering if anyone could give me some useful information about them, such as what to look for, what important, what's not so important. and perhaps what would be a solid amp to buy for it. something in the 400 dollar price range.
Yeah i would definitely take a look at the Yamaha HS range monitors. My friend has i think 2 of them for different keyboards and their sound is amazing for its price.
Try the Barbetta Amps. I have to SONA 41c amps. 550 watts; 41 lbs. The best amp I have ever heard. Kenny
If you read up, he wants to get an amp for home use and for small gigs, I think a 550watt amp isn't what he needs. Barbetta are great amps, dont get me wrong, but he doesnt need that big of an amp XD.
I've got a Roland KC-350; the KC-150 might be more to your liking and price range if you're not going to gig anywhere.
Another vote for the Roland KC350; I use it with my Yamaha PSRS900...it's not heavy, sounds good, etc. etc. Use it on small/medium gigs, plus it's my my monitor on occasion.
I personally found the Roland amps to be better quality than the Peavey amps, but buying any piece of gear is a subjective process, so your best bet is to try a few and pick the one you like.
Have you taken a look at these? I even think there is a scratch and dent one for $349 http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Yamaha-STAGEPAS-150M-Portable-PA?sku=600826 I actually got the 250M version today and it's awesome!
I have a MO8 and played ti through to yamaha HS50m speakers ... left and right ... full stereo .... it was brilliant ..... later sold them as needed something to gig with ... for at homew or studio use the yamaha speakers were the best.
