Hello. New to the forum and pianos. In fact, I only know what I have read in the forum threads during the last month. My goal is to learn to play the piano for personal enjoyment.
Recently, I purchased a slightly used Kawai MP8 and also a slightly used pair of Behringer Truth 2031a monitors (used twice, according to the seller). Both objects demo'd well and looked new, so I'm optimistic about their lasting a while. I need connecting cables, however, and was hoping that forum members would recommend types of cable (and adapters if necessary). I am also looking for adjustable speaker stands. From what I've read in the threads, the adjustable metal variety of monitor floor stand might offer more flexibility, so I thought I would look into them, as opposed to the installable wall shelf variety. But I am inexperienced, and will listen to recommendations.
The system will be in a small room (square, approx. 225 sq.ft.). I plan on configuring the triangle of monitors, keyboard and myself, as illustrated in the Kawai documentation. The monitors (approximately 30 lbs. each) appear to be set right at the rear corners of the keyboard, with their faces angled equally toward the player at ear level. I will position the triangle configuration in the middle of the room. I suspect, given the Kawai diagram, that only a short length of monitor cable is necessary, but no length is explicitly stated. Eventually, I would like to add a subwoofer, but I want to wait on that, for the moment.
I live somewhat remotely, and usually have to order stuff online, which precludes my directly demo-ing or directly shopping around, so the more info, with respect to monitor stand and cable brands and models, the better.
Regards,
Steve
