Does anyone happen to know what the frequency range of the Yamaha P120 piano is? Can you hear the low A?

visit a music store that has keyboards on the floor, and try it. Keyboard brand and model shouldnt matter much, the idea is the small speaker system. It is pretty much the same idea as listening to the same music on a small table radio. You are very aware of the note, you just hear it differently and incompletely. The keyboard speaker will be vastly better than the small table radio speaker, but not as good as a large expensive speaker system.

But yes, you definitely will hear the lowest key, and it will sound lower than the key next to it, etc. You wont hear 27Hz in a small speaker, but you do hear the higher harmonics. That very possibly may be acceptable in some cases, and some people may not even realize it is not all there. However that limited sound is different than if reproduced by large speakers that can actually do it.

It's a very high quality speaker that can produce 27hz. My Blue Sky's w/12 in. sub will do it. Not to worry as the ear actually supplies the missing fundamental. I'd be surprised if those built ins go below 75 hz

True, but as infrequently as the bottom key is played, it probably doesnt matter so much, or at least very often. It still seems safe to say that any larger/better external speaker can a noticable improvement over the smaller builtin speakers. Even if we assume the new speaker response cant cover the first octave, it can still help the second octave. And when the first octave is played, the new speaker will reproduce the second harmonic of the first octave better too.
