Hi, i’m new in the forum, i want a Minimoog OS, which amplifier do you use for your minimoog?
For home use, or gigging?
I don’t gig, so I run my Voyager thru a pair of Nady SM-250A powered studio monitors with 6" woofers, along with a Behringer Truth B2092A subwoofer. The monitors are 100 watts each, and the sub is about 350 watts. They are more than adequate for my purposes!
Welcome to the forum!

Two Roland KC-550s.
Oh yeah! Well… my Dad can beat up your Dad!!
How do you like those? Ive had the pleasure of running my Micro through an 880 and I felt like the speaker was going to shatter. It just didn’t put out enough lows.
The Roland Rep advised me against their own Subwoofer.
I’m wondering how they sound as well, as I have noticed a very distinct absence of frequency response specs from Roland for both the 350 and the 550.
I have an SWR WorkingPro 12 Bass combo Amp and a set of “Bose Companion 3 Series II”. (that’s a long name) Just picked up a Mesa Boogie Walkabout/Scout 15" that I’m going to switch on/off with my Bass and Taurus if the pedals show up anytime before spring. Then I’m stuck doing yardwork and taking care of the pool for the kiddies with all of my spare time (sob).

I first bought the 880 but took it back. The two 550s are better, definitely more bottom end and stereo separation.
Yeah, it’s hard to imagine anybody getting excited about Rolands subwoofer.
For my tone I think they sound really nice, and I usually won’t buy anything that doesn’t have tubes in it.
The tweeters add a nice sparkle to the top that I wasn’t hearing from the QSC K10 powered speakers I also tried.
Thank’s for responses, it’s for home use.
Me too. My band days are over.
I was in Guitar Center later on today, and heard a 350 doing some pretty low bass lines. It sounded pretty danged good!
My high school has one of the Roland amps with (i think) a 12" speaker, and my microkorg was making the speaker sound like it was being torn to shreds. It could not handle any bass and even with a normal digital piano it sounded like the stuff that comes out of the rear end of a Taurus. 
I would either use a nice flat bass amp or a pa that contains a sub, preferably a portable 3-way stereo system.
The only 12" speaker in any amplifier that I know of that handles bass well is my own, hate to say… 
That is why I have an 18" speaker!
Even professional 18’s don’t go near the frequencies I was pumping out earlier today…they just project more loudness. There’s a reason I went through all the work I did to modify my amplifier, and that reason was because the lowest professional speaker I could find bottomed out at 31 Hz, and was a 21" Cerwin Vega. Of course, most people would be happy with this. My speaker is measurable at 15 Hz, and I am quite pleased. 
There’s an argument I’ll never enter into. 
You’re going to have to talk about SPL, efficiency and flatness.
I’m out.
I will say that Cerwin-Vega and Gauss 18" speakers haven’t always been known for their great efficiency though.
But if you have a 12" that pumps bass as you like it, doesn’t exceed the cone excursion and can dissipate the heat, more power to you.
I myself use an old Carver M-400 Cube amplifier, slightly modded.
200 watts RMS into 8 ohms x 2.
The speakers are Carvin cabs with 15" JBLs and horns.
Passive crossovers.
Good for me because they’re loud, fairly flat and make good stereo speakers too.
A good stereo makes a fine amplifier for a non-professional.
If you’re just playing at home and have a decent stereo system, there’s no reason to invest in a professional rig.
A mixer might prove more useful if you don’t have one already.
Heres a link from the Taurus thread that I found about what is needed from a sub to pump out those low freqs.

I’m using an Ashdown Acoustic Radiator 1 for gigs and sessions with the MiniMoog Voyager. It has 100 Watts output which allows you to compete even with drummer interferences. The weight of 11kg makes it portable as well.
The sound is actually really good. It is not very cheap (approximately € 500.-) but it is a high quality product. Due to the low noise figure 2 of them may nice also at home to achieve a stereo amplification.
