ANOTHER UPDATE:
As I have continued to visit the various venues on my January schedule, I am becoming excited over how my S975 is sounding through my L1 Compact when bumping up my Master EQ settings pattern by just 1 db (as I described in earlier posts). It is producing better sound than I thought I would ever hear with this combination of equipment.
Also, it's proving to be the opposite of what I had expected to happen. Rather than being "too much" for the medium to large spaces, it actually makes the sound "bloom with color" (At least to my ears it does.).
In the very small spaces, it's proving to spoil the sound. Might this be because of not enough resonance in which to "build" the sound? Not being an acoustics expert, I lack the vocabulary for describing dynamics of sound.
As a side note, I suspect that accompanying this EQ experimentation is that fact that my ears have been becoming accustomed to what had seemed to me a drastic change from what I had been so used to with my previous keyboard and sound system.
I am hoping my experiences will help others to discover improvements that will better satisfy their acoustic senses.
As always, I want to understand and benefit from others who use the S975 / Compact combo.
