Thank you ChrisN
Definitely listen with a decent set of headphones connected directly to the MX61. I would be willing to put money that your driving that speaker setup too hard.
I get decent audio with the pianos and the organs. It is EPs that sound bad.
Did you demo this keyboard at the stores you went to? If so, how did it sound there?
No, unfortunately I didn’t check out the sounds much. I was mostly looking for a keybed that felt right.
Please don’t take this as an insult, but by some of your comments it sounds like you’re very, very new to this level of synth.
I wouldn’t deny that. No offense is taken.
I would give yourself some time to learn the functionality and basics.
I will but I do want to spend more of my time playing than tweaking.
How far do you live from DC and did you go to Washington Music Center (Chuck Levin’s)? There are good guys there and will be able to help you and verify if there is anything wrong with your keyboard.
Chuck Levin’s in Wheaton is one of the places I visited to check out keyboards. They had an amazing selection and they were friendly. I also enjoyed visiting Atomic Music in Beltsville. Another good place is Bill’s Music in Catonsville.
I live in Morgantown, W.Va. where we only have one music store.
How are you connecting to those speakers in stereo? If you’re improperly plugging in mono, you could be getting odd phase issues with stereo patches that are using stereo fx, etc.
I have only been setting it up in stereo. I’ve listened with headphones, with my studio monitors, and also through a Roland digital piano that accepts audio input. All my cabling is unbalanced which I don’t think should make a big diff.
Thank you.

I’m familiar with Morgantown W. VA. That’s a bit of haul from me. I was going to suggest getting together if you were closer. No matter. You’ll get it.
Use to go over and down your way a lot and do rafting at New River Gorge. Also watch people BASE jump off the bridge. That’s too crazy for me!
