Amplification for psr-s775

[Cardoso]

Hi.
I want to buy some amplification for my psr-s775, for home use only or maybe occasionally to play for some friends.
I prefer quality over power.
But I don't want to spend more than 250 euros.
Do you think I can use something like this?

thanks in advance,

bluetooth is not really good for keyboard anp unless it has jacks for wired setup  bluetooth as a latency or slight delay and will drive you crazy while playing .

You best bet at this sort of price is a pair of small powered monitors in the 3 to 5 inch range. This gives you stereo sound, much better than mono for your keyboard, and lots of punch with enough bass for home or small venues. There are many, many choices at modest prices to suit your budget including well known names like JBL, Mackie, MAudio etc, and don't ignore Yamaha. Fluid power are also great sound at a good price. Speakers are a very personal choice so try to hear them at a local store. And as the previous post says avoid using Bluetooth.

Just out of curiosity, how big is your room? Usually the PSR 15W speakers are quite enough.

As Mike said Studio monitors are the best things for this situation.
There's plenty of options in that price range.
Although I won't go with a 3inch speaker.

Hi Alvaro,

You will probably not really need speakers that can be operated by battery, because the keyboard needs to be connected to the mains anyway.

To connect the keyboard to speakers via Bluetooth, you would need an additional Bluetooth audio transmitter. But even if both devices (transmitter and receiver) support a current Bluetooth version (e.g. Bluetooth 5.x), a relatively high latency (delay) can occur, which makes playing in real time with the keyboard as good as impossible.

Please also keep in mind that "HiFi" speakers are primarily intended for "canned music", e.g. commercial music from CD or MP3. When playing a keyboard live, relatively large volume jumps can occur, which can easily destroy unsuitable speakers.


Best regards,
Chris

Thank you everybody for your help.
One thing I left out unintentionally is that the biggest problem is really me, my earing is degrading, especially my left ear.
So I kind of need some amplification.
I though monitors were somewhat unidirectional, and so not very suitable to play in a small "party".
Do you guys with monitors have a good experience with them in amplifying keyboards?

thanks,
Alvaro

Don't get confused by names, monitors are just speakers like any others. I am not sure what what you even mean by "directional" but pair of decent powered 4 inch monitors will blow you away in a typical room at home. 5 inch will be even better, 6 inch better still. And I can assure you the sound will get everywhere! There are many choices, you need to hear and decide for yourself, but if you get a well known brand they will all outperform the built in speakers by miles, volume and quality.

Many many many thanks for your help.
Without you I would simply waste money and wouldn't get what I need.
It's decided then, monitors will be.

best wishes for you all,
Alvaro
