FBT -vs- RCF

[set theorist]

Has anyone A/B'd the Verve 12MA against the RCF Art 310.

It appears that these are amongst the leaders for FRFR monitors in the Axe community.

I'd prefer a ten inch speaker for obvious reasons; but I don't want to give up too much in sound quality...odd that there is no Verve 10MA

Is the FBT Art 312 more comparable to the Verve 12MA?

If so, why is the Verve so much more expensive?

A/Bing the Verve -vs- the RCF, does the sound justify the extra money?

Thanks.

I have the Verve 12ma and RCF ART200 (older series).
The Verve kills the older RCF.

I don't have the RCF 310, but I can get my hands on one, and will let you know when I can A/B them.
I've heard the RCF 310 in a PA situation and they're decent.

I would actually put the Verve 8ma against the RCF 310.
The Verve is an 8", but it moves a lot of sound for a box that small.

I have yet to find a plastic FRFR that can compete with the tone from a wood box FRFR.
Just my opinion....but would love to hear if other feel the same way?

Thanks BBN. Your input is greatly appreciated.

No problem.
If you live in the New England area, you're welcome to throw your Axe into my Verve give it a test run.
