Got my HS-8 and so far find it better then my EL50. seems to have a
better more powerful rythim section. The drums and bass are more
pronounced, and you can balance between more drums or less. More
sounds, can layer more instruments, so the organ sounds fuller. Even
though it's less wattage then the EL50 it sounds louder.

I don't find the instruments sounding a lot worse then the EL50, as
they sound basically the same apart from the EL50's are a little
clearer and sharper. The only worse thing I find is the panio is a lot
better on the EL50.

So differences in instruments I don't find that much difference, so
the HS-8 still sounds as good as my EL50.

The only thing I need to get fixed is the pedals don't go, so getting
a tech around to reconditon the pedals. The flip down lid seems to not
be straight, one side is more up than the other, so does anyone know
how to adjust this. And the number 16 regsitration light does not go.
Apart from that eveything else goes.

Been playing it and can do a lot more then my EL50 could ever do and
sound even better.

The balance between upper and lower keyboards even is better. So find
the HS-8 you can balance everything better.
