    Celestion F12-X200 vs F12M-150

    In your experience, by using global EQ can you make the F12-X200 sufficiently mimic a guitar speaker (or a F12M-150 for that matter) when paired with the right IR & cab?

    I am really keen to hear ... How this unit sounds (line level sources, instrument level sources, vocal, modelers, etc.) If it can act as an effective "FRFR-like" portable solution for an FM9 What are the drawbacks / negatives with it (besides the retail price / size ratio) How does the sound...

    Red Sound Elis8 FRFR Review and MF 10 Comparision

    It sounds like the 180W in stereo for the ELIS.8s may be a little shy of what I might need for a loudish bar gig - am I wrong? I love the size and overall presentation, but I'm afraid of dropping $1600 for a pair and finding that they don't hold up to the CP8s for volume and projection. Can...

    Which FRFR? Is it worth it?

    The Atomic CLR always gets a lot of love, and for good reason. In my experience they are the top of the pile for clear, transparent reproduction - plus they work equally well as wedge or cab orientation. The downside or course is they are not cheap (the best things in life are free / but you...
