I think i might have gotten the last mk2, but was originally going to pick up an mk1, and it was quite a bit cheaper.....Did you purchase a B-stock? They did say they had a few they would offer for $50 off.

That’s surprising. I find I don’t need to adjust for low end on the ASC-10. The ASM, yes, but not the 10’s. My presets are the same as they’ve been with just about every speaker I’ve tried.
I had emailed Atomic about availability of the CLR- they stated they are still 30-60 days out from restocking.
I have two Friedman ASM12 and between the Yamaha HS8 and them I find the HS8 more of a satisying sound when at modest levels.
When cranked the ASM12 really come to life. I have yet to test them without the grills that are held on with velcro... I keep meaning to but havent got around to it.... if I find that the grills are the one thing keeping me from truely loving them at all volume ranges then I'll smack myself for not trying it sooner.
I'll be using my new ASC-10 live for the first time this weekend! Sounded great at rehearsal. Fingers crossed!I have an ASM-10 and an ASC-10. They are fantastic. I'm using these regularly at my gigs for my own monitoring. Depending upon the gig, I bring one or the other. Running them in stereo is nothing short of outstanding!
I´m using the ax8 with either atomica high or friedman 2018 with 2 friedman asm-12´s..tried many amp sims, but those 2 are the best for me, actually like atomica a bit more than friedman 2018..I´m using OH F-Man IR´s V93 + M93 ..pretty much as friedmany as it gets Could you please compare using this setup to using your BE-50 deluxe with BE 212 cab ? I´m thinking lately that maybe I should switch to BE-50 with real cab for live shows and rehearsals..my problem with ASM´s is that I have to cut a bass (which I don´t want to do that) otherwise the monitors are clipping when pushed to around 107db.
Regardless of FRFR choice, one thing should likely be of upmost importance....the one that does not taint the tone much from what you are exposing your audience to running FOH. If an individual tweaks their presets on too much a colored monitor (for example at home studio) and then later runs FOH, it's highly likely an injustice to your end audience. Seems prudent to hear as close to what your end audience will hear, so that's where your consideration in FRFR use for preset setups should likely lie. In my experience if your main FOH gigs typically run QSC PAs (for example), then tweak using the same or very similar at home/studio. It's all subjective of course, but I personally feel the audience is the main priority, period. So listen and tweak presets to what they will be listening to. Just pointing out something that one might consider when making their monitoring choices. Regards.
Do you have the wedge or traditional cab configuration?The ASC-10 seems to shine when cranked, but sounds VERY dark at low volumes.
I had both. I had the ASC-10, which is the traditional cab style. But I also owned the ASM-12 at one point, which is the wedge.Do you have the wedge or traditional cab configuration?

I've sold both at this point. Still have the CLR.
My band is going back to live amps going forward. The ASC-10 shined on stage, but sounded way too dark at low/home volumes. The CLR sounds great at low volumes, but lacks the punch the ASC-10 provides at stage volumes. I'm primarily using my FM3/CLR at home for practice and recording. Hope that helps.Can I ask why you sold the ASC-10? I just purchased and expect it to work well as "FRFR backline" at gigs in "kind of close to in the room tones" at home.
My suggestion is to tilt the ASC up at you. Done and fixed!! I was using these live setup like this at several gigs just before Covid hit and they were amazing tilted up. I can put them behind me or in front as my monitors. I added Fender tilt back legs to mine and setup the angle that worked best for me. I set them up this way at home as well.My band is going back to live amps going forward. The ASC-10 shined on stage, but sounded way too dark at low/home volumes.

I don't think you got what I was saying in my post. I had NO COMPLAINTS in a live setting. The ASC-10 SHINES in a live situation. It's low volume/at home levels that it sounds way too dark and doesn't work for me. Which is where I'm primarily using my FM3 now.My suggestion is to tilt the ASC up at you. Done and fixed!!

It's 1000 watts in stereo and it sounds like a cab, so I have no issues being heard anywhere. Easy to carry and take.

I'm totally with you. I was using tilted back amp stand with my ASC-10 and it was great LIVE. I'm no longer using the AXE stuff live, so that why the ASC-10 went bye bye.
I'll have to respectfully disagree with you though... The FM3 though the ASC-10 is nowhere near the same as a real tube amp and cab combo. It's not bad... It's just NOT the same. 500 watts of solid state doesn't push the same air as my PT20 through a 1x12 let alone a 2x12.
