Hi,
I am currently using Yamaha DG 60. However i am looking to change to a keyboard amp due to its Flat Response, shd be able to get tones that sound almost like thru the PA system. Thats what i really need.
Roland KC 60 or behringer are good choice.
Heard laney can be good too for its price.

Hi Guys
The POD XT works very well in a full range system such as headphones, active full range speakers/studio monitors, hi-fi speakers, PA speakers, Keyboard amps. Of course the final result still depends on the performance of these full range speakers. For example, if you plug them into small computer speakers, they will sound small as compared to stage loudspeakers.
Leb is absolutely right about these speakers having a flat EQ response. The POD XT have to be setup in "Direct" mode under "What are you connecting to?" menu page. The output from the POD XT would be as if the amp model chosen is being MIC-ed up and going straight into the full range system.
Of course the POD XT works perfectly fine when connected to a guitar amp too which have a mid frequency response. In this case you need to select "Combo" or "Stack" under the "What are you connecting to?" page. This will make the guitar amp being connected sound like the other amps modeled into the POD XT.
Cheers!

Hi Guys
To follow up on what we have been discussing, we do have some professional studio monitors to consider which will do the job pretty well. The prices ranges from $480-$640 per pair. http://www.citymusic.com.sg/prd_wharf.html#pm
There are also many computer speakers in the market which are pretty affordable and sounds really good. Perhaps you can visualise if you play a CD player through these different full range comp speakers, normally if the CD sounds really good, your POD XT will sound good too as it's able to handle a wide range of frequency well.
A few key notes to keep in mind besides price:
1) Speaker size (the bigger the speaker, the better the low freq range, sub-woofer is optional and subjective)
2) Power handling (how loud can the speaker go without distorting)
3) Frequency response and clarity (if the speakers response if muffled, then you can't hear much detail in the POD XT's amp modeling)
Full range stage monitors (wedge/fallback design) can perform very well with the POD XT in "Direct" setup too. The same principle as mentioned above applies too, but at a very much higher volume (they are usuall 200W of power and above)
Cheers!!
