I also used my K12’s when I first got my frac. Seeing as they were also my pa speakers, I decided to get separate Frfr speakers. I went through the rundown. First I made the mistake of buying (2) Headrush 112’s, and although they do get loud, they did not sound nearly as good as my K12’s did and I felt like I was seriously downgrading and they sounded very cheap to me (I guess you get what you pay for). So I asked around and everyone seemed to say either atomic clr wedges or xitone wedges. So I went with 2 atomic clr wedges. They sounded “good” to me. Also very very loud, they sounded very similar to my K12’s. I did a comparison with my K12’s and they were almost unnoticeably slightly different. I played out of these for a little while before thinking of switching to a real cab. I came from playing through Marshall, Mesa, Orange 412 cabs and missed that real “punch” that the cabs brought. But at the same time I loved the idea of stereo effects and full range/flat response true sound. So after a brief encounter buying a matrix gt1000fx and playing through several of my 412 cabs and still not satisfied, I came across a friend who told me about this stereo Frfr cab… the Mission Gemini GM-2. When I’m telling you EVERYTHING changed for me then, I mean it. I immediately fell in love with this speaker. Not only can I run stereo, it is Frfr and has that real “punch” feel of a cab and blows air from the speakers like a real cab does. It’s like I’m playing out of one of my 412 cabs yet I have the full range of a pa speaker. Truly is the best sounding speaker I’ve ever used. And the volume…. This thing gets LOUD! The one I got is powered, so I don’t need my matrix amp for it either. I couldn’t be any happier. You sound like your going through the same thing I did. So I’m wondering if you were a real cab guy before using the k12’s? That might be what your missing. And although the clr’s sounded good, they were still missing that punch I needed, that the GM-2 provided. I have heard of many people getting (2) GM1’s and running them in stereo that way to put the speakers further apart. Me, I find the stereo in this to be amazing. I originally was thinking of purchasing another to run through (2) of them, but after using this and seeing how loud it gets, I can’t say I’ll ever need another. This speaker is a game changer. I haven’t seen anyone mention it, although I didn’t read every reply. I seen some clr replies and xitone. I haven’t tried the xitone wedges and hear great things about them, and as far as the clr wedges, I think they are great. But for me, and anyone coming from a real cab, I’d recommend the Mission Gemini GM2. It’s a 212 powered Frfr cab that has this EmPower knob to adjust how much “real cab” feel you want from your speaker. Amazing technology. They also have the GM1 (1x12” speaker) in powered and passive versions and a wedge in both powered and passive versions. My next purchase might be the wedge as a stage monitor, as I can’t justify buying another gm2 because I’ll never have use for it. This thing could play a stadium it gets so loud and the sound never distorts no matter the volume. Check it out, it was worth a mention.
