I can't plug the Roland Cube amps enough. They are the only portable amps I've ever used that reproduce the whole range of the piano well. I bought myself a 60-watt version; they come bigger and smaller. The 60 is lighter than my keyboard. It runs about $250, I think. It can drive external speakers, and it takes two input channels, but I'm not to sure if it really does stereo.
