passive monitor and stereo amp for home practice

[Franz]

I'm trying to decide what's the best way to have my TD11 amplified for home/practice use. I looked at many options... I haven't read anything about using a separate amplifier and a passive loudspeaker.. something like a stage monitor..

I thought about this combination:

Amplifier:

Speaker:

Wouldn't I get bigger speakers and more power for the same prize I would spend on a small Drum amplifier.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!!

If you have the space and the forgiving neighbors/family members, then an amplified monitor or separate amp/speaker combination may work for you.

As for me, an IEM was the answer to practicing extended hours, and getting some nice sounds in my ears without going so loud to cover the physical hits on the drum pads.

I would suggest a 12" or preferably a 15" keyboard amp
