prices are mooted to be the same as what Bonners posted but they're not fully committing to them yet ( Might be due to the situ in Japan?)

Yeah it would seem they are starting to show up in small quantities in Asia too ... Music City in Singapore had 5 61 keys come in ....

So it would seem that a 6 week shipping is on the cards for us !!!

Hi there A-Z's Wink

I emailed Bonners out of interest to enquire about the KRONOS, and their reply was "a Kronos from the first available shipment, which looks likely to be August"

£2000 will be offered for a KORG OASYS88 if anyone is interested. That means the KRONOS listed at £3,299 from Bonners will command £1,299 Plus the OASYS88. Whether anyone thinks the KRONOS is worth £1,299 more than the OASYS is up to the individual....

Also, I’m wondering if unlike the OASYS, there will be waiver/negotiation/haggling etc on the KRONOS, Which wasn't possible on the OASYS

Either way, it’s a superb instrument is this Kronos.

My "pros" List:

+ • SSD/Massive sample (12 Gig) with possibly more to come
+ • Drum Track(s)
+ • 24-bit, 48 kHz recording quality
+ • SGX-1 Premium Piano
+ • EP-1 MDS Electric Piano
+ • Resolution: 1/480 PPQN (Sequencer)
+ • Song List mode
+ • USB/AUDIO connection to pc
+ • Weight
+ • Faster Dual Core Atom CPU

There may be some more (many even), please add to the list as I’m quite new to "looking" at the KRONOS specs Confused

My "Cons" List:

- • No physical "pads"
- • Smaller Screen (though will have to see the KRONOS to evaluate it)
- • inferior Sliders/Controls (IMO)
- • "cheaper" looking design (the OASYS is "Grand" looking)
- • Screen non "tiltable" (as above I guess)
- • NO Phantom Power inputs
- • less outputs (6 including L/R)

Probably missed something big out, however, the KRONOS seems to have more "pros", but to me, (at least) it’s the "Quality" of Pros Versus Cons, rather than the amount.

Tony

There are lots of different estimates flying around. My reseller told me this morning that his rep reckons that "we are looking good for June delivery".

He also tells me that what Bonners are offering "won't be the best deal". He hasn't given me anything more concrete than that at the moment, but I'm not going to rush to jump ship for a pair of Behringers just yet.

I agree that you have to look at all the aspects of the deal, but it's still early days and we don't all all the information just yet. Bonners will do well by making an offer like this at an early stage.

I think most places will deliver for free. I can't say that I've looked into comparisons on part exchange or finance, as I don't need either.

One other important aspect is how refundable the deposit is. I'm not comment on the Bonners one, because I just don't know. What I would say is that it's a bad idea to get locked into a deal until you know what the other options are.

My deposit with A&C Hamilton is fully refundable, so my options are still open. The Bonners offer on the Behringers is available for another month, so I can always go with that if nothing better comes up within the month. I suspect it will though.

Bonners stated that thier £200 deposit is fully refundable.
