Which would offer superior sound in a 12x12 room?
Would a pair of CLR's be loud enough to be heard well at a small dive bar?
Would the CLR's be able to serve double duty and also be good for playback of music as well as mixing?
I've heard there's some debate that suggests a pair of CLR's would not be as good in a small untreated room as say a pair of small 4 1/2" Adams when it comes to nearfield monitoring (which in a 12x12 room I guess it's all nearfield isn't it?) and that the CLR's are designed more for use in a big room or even better on stage because they have more in common with PA speaker design than they do studio monitor design.
Of course I realize each product is usually meant for a specific purpose, but I am curious to how many people that go the CLR route actually prefer using them for all audio/sound applications?
My instinct tells me the smallest pair of Adams would be best in a small room.
But I am just curious as to how many people would disagree with that and say that a pair of CLRs would be better.
Which would provide one with the best Axe FX experience or are they both equal?
