The speakers in the DGX660 are also vertically mounted in a rattling keyboard enclosure without proper baffles or ports to direct the sound.  Keyboard manufacturers like Yamaha and Casio these days also tend to cheap out on the fidelity of the built in speakers.

A well designed 4" woofer these days can compete on a pretty even footing with an 8" acoustic suspension woofer from back in the 70's.

Personally I'll always choose a pair of well designed studio monitors over the junky speakers they mount inside of most keyboards these days.  Size and power don't matter as much as they once did.

The original poster might also want to chime in with his own listening preferences.  If he wants to play at reasonable sound levels for a home or apartment, 20 watts is pretty much as high as he needs to go.

If he's more the heavy metal type and wants to rattle his windows, then I'd suggest adding a subwoofer or getting a pair of 8" monitors.

It honestly boils down to what he thinks is a reasonably sounding system.
