All in one speakers?

I see Yamaha has all sorts of studio, PA and HI-FI speakers. I wonder if you can recommend me an "all in one" speaker solution. I am looking for speakers I could use as stereo keyboard amplifier, reliable studio monitors and occasionally as bass rich PA system for gigs.

Or is this a wishful thinking?  :P ;D 

Thanks for help!

I agree with Gary...
I have used a smaller, less powerful Lansing system for most of my small gigs of up to 100 people...no problem.
The Logitech system Gary has mentioned has lots of power for even larger gigs!

No matter what system you decide on, the main thing to do is make sure you use a sub woofer - it really fattens up the bass lines and adds 'punch' to the drums!
And it doesn't have to be all that powerful to make a difference - the sub woofer I have is only 25 watts RMS max! (The one Gary is recommending has over 200 watts!)

I was checking one of the reviews on Youtube:

-go straight to 3min 3sec and what you see there? Let me give a hint: it's Watt's what we're looking at.
But then wattage is only one of parameters. This set is obviously for PC gaming (in room); for listening shooting, tires squeaking and explosions -has nothing to do with music!

Bogdan, in reality, those screeching tires, sirens etc... have a lot in common with music, especially arranger keyboards. Those same frequencies can be found in most every instrument we play. If they sound good for gamers, whom are very particular about the sounds the produce with their software, then your keyboard will sound fantastic. Think about it!

All the best,

I agree with Gary (I usually do!).
Most modern day gaming systems are ideal for all frequencies, therefore ideal for all arranger keyboards such as ours!

I have used an older Logitech set Z2200 on small jobs and they did fine.  They are still in my music room and that's what I use most of the time for home practice.  They are at least ten years old now and I haven't turned them off in several years.  Logitech support is un-paralleled if you ever need it.
Another excellent choice is HK Audio Nano 300.  You can do stereo with one unit, or use two for double the power.  Bass will move your chair.  Very portable, sounds fantastic.  Can handle maybe twice the size group as the Logitech.

I love my Logitech ..Z906 they are just super...i think it is their biggest 5.1 model  ..ok they are a 5 unit system but you can just use 2 of the speakers and the woofer ( which is massive !! ) for gigs .... the smaller models in the Z series are also great and not expensive ( i have several ) ..Can recommend ....they also have THX certification. The 906 provide 1000w i think ( 500 RMS ) in total and the Bass is just stunning.
