I have a Montage 8. It sounds great with any pair of headphones , but it sounds muddy with every amp I have tried.
I have the tried the Yamaha amplified speakers, I have tried both digital and analog powered mixers with many speakers, the powered mixers destroy the
beautiful sound created even if I use the headphones through the mixer. It sounds fine with 1 or instruments, but the more instruments I add to the Performance the worse and worse it sounds.
If I use 8 channels it sounds like mud. I have tried all keyboard amps they sound the worst.
How can I reproduce the fantastic sound I head on the headphones. I need 1000W per channel either powered or with a powered mixer.
I think the audio signal produced by the Montage 8 is extremely complex, does an amplifier to amplify it exist?
Powered mixer is best, Tweaking the equalizer inside the montage 8 doesn't help.
I perform on my montage 8 every week. I need an amp that can show off the great sound it produces.
Thx in advance

Today’s powered speakers require some expertise in order to sound properly. While headphones require not much knowledge about sound, powered cabinets that are rated at 1000W or more, do require you know what you’re doing.
Given the number of extremely happy MONTAGE owners using powered speakers, if you are having no success with “every amp” you might want to lean on the expertise of a qualified sound person. There is no downside to asking your local retailer about what is working for people. You’d be amazed at how helpful they can be… the typical retailer has several companies coming in and teaching them about how to get the best sound out of the system. It does not mean they are always the best resource, but if they are on the ball at all, they have someone who can actually help you get the sound you need.
Even if not a Yamaha speaker, buy what sounds best to you.
It is not that there are so many things to configure in a powered loud speaker system, but get any one of them wrong and your sound suffers.
In general, speakers get better and better as the price goes up. Depending on your price range there exists a wide selection of cabinets…Wood cabinets sound best, but are heaviest; 10”, 12”, 15” depending on your requirements/preference;
_ first thing to figure out is the size and weight issues.
Stereo is better than mono. (I personally cannot do, so-called, Keyboard Amps), I recommend to all who can handle them, getting a matching pair of high-fidelity sound reinforcement speakers.
