[net.audio] Electronic Keyboards and Stereo Systems?

lute@abnjh.UUCP (J. Collymore) (12/11/84)

I am thinking of buying a YAMAHA PS-55 electronic keyboard.  The problem is, I
don't have a guitar amp to run it through.  I was told by the salesman that
I can run it through my stereo system with no problem, they will supply me
with the proper cords.  A friend of mine counters that my stereo speakers were
not designed to handle the signals of the keyboard, and I might have problems,
or be disappointed with the sound.  Before I go out and blow money
unneccesarily on a guitar amp, could someone please tell me whether or not my
stereo system will be adequate for these purposes.

Thanks.

   It depends on what kind of stereo/speakers you own!  If you've
   got good drivers, and at least a few watts, you'll be fine.
   My Roland JX-3P work just fine through my stereo.
