The Roland CM-220 is designed for Synthesizers but if I play a C1 and a G2 then I have strange resonance effects, the loudspeaker produces a rattle effect. If I play C1 and E2, then no such effect occurs. I play the Herbie Hancock E-Piano. I compare the sound of the loudspeaker with a headphone, and there are no strange artifact noises...

Something is wrong with the CM-220 loudspeakers, holy crap !!

I'm using two JBL PRX 712 for live performance and they are just great... loud, class D amplifier and the sound quality is amazing. And also i'm using this units in my home, and in low volumens there is practicaly no noise, the only thing than you will hear is the coolers fans in the back of the speakers. I'm very happy with my set. Each one cost me $850

I hope this helps you.

As the saying goes the only thing a Roland needs run through it is a Chainsaw. Just kidding but i would bypass the Roland. :oops:

you have vague question.

Do you need Nearfield/Ref Monitors or do you need a AIO PA System Solution like fender passport / Bose L1's etc?

I am using the QSC K10 and love them I use them at home and or for quieter times some DT 880 pro headphones. I have the first gen KRK rocket 5 and they stink with the Kronos. To each his own though some may like them. I like them with other stuff but not the Kronos. I think it is because I have no sub for them.
