    Is Atomic CLR worth the high price tag?

    I own an AG Robusta and Latte and they are by far the best speakers I've used with my AXEFX. The Latte has the two tweeters and I have not experienced any of the issues you are concerned with. My Acoustic band actually uses it as a PA for smaller gigs. It is basically a large studio monitor...

    I own a JCA GR 1.6 and will never sell it. It is such a great amp. Never played an Allesandro but was always interested in his Working dog combo with a 12" and 10" speaker. The other cool amp I own is the Mill Hill Summer, its a high end, souped up champ.
