Korg SV1 external speaker

Please help if you can advise me as to what the better choice would be for my Korg SV1 because it does not have internal speakers. I know I want to get Roland brand and am looking at the KC-550, KC-350, 2 CM-30's, or maybe a KC-110 .. anybody know about this? Thanks in advance!

If its just for stage monitoring then the single speaker would be fine but you really should consider a stereo set up for better sound like a Yamaha Stagepass sysem.t

I used a pair of Roland 350s for years. Just went to a dual Line-6 L2M setup on stage (got em at a killer discount) and like the sound more, less coloring. A stereo setup unless your just monitoring on stage is advised. QSC K-series are popular but a set of nice self powered near field monitors on stands would work well in the studio when not using headphones. Lots of choices just based on $$ to spend.

What are you using the SV1 for? Eg. gigging, in studio, private home use, etc. That will help people recommend the best speaker setup.

I want to hear it w/o headphones on..
I want to hear it at band practice so drums are there too..
I want to use it as a monitor if need be..

Thanks so much..

My recommendation: 2 self powered speakers on stands...(I use QSC K8s)...but let your ears & pocket book guide you...IMHO the use of 2 speakers bring out the sublime stereo sound that our SVs produce...

I bought a Roland Cube Lite MONITOR. Stereo, LOUD, 2:1 sound, sounds like bose, record to iOS and cheap at fullcompass.com ($125)

I'll use it for living room performances, small rehearsals and mainly for practice. It is louder than my two M-audio BX5as and sounds clearer, better!
