What inspired me to make this thread was my experience at the guitar store yesterday. For the first time in a long time I plugged into an amp head/cab. It was an EVH 5150III EL34 50 watt into a Mesa horizontal 212 closed back cab. Naturally there was some serious thump/tight bass response. When I got home and playing through my Atomic CLRS that I've had for years (and set up on poles in a FF eq setting) it occurred to me how much I miss that low end thump. I suppose this is the whole Amp in the room unicorn talked about so much on the forum. My CLR's sound great and are flat response but I've largely been listening to them at ear level. Like a 57 mic pointed near /off axis to the cone all this time. My space isnt' optimal for putting the monitors on the floor so starting to rethink my whole system now...
Not sure i want to ditch the CLRS as they act as my monitors for my keyboard and I even use for mixing. My one thought was having 1 or 2 of my Clrs on the floor ( much prefer stereo for the ear candy) but again i'd have to rethink my entire space/setup. Then for mixing purposes get some yamaha hs7/8's or adam ax5/7's on the desktop.
or
Keep the CLRS how they are and add another Matrix/Friedman style active cab (to get that more 'traditional' guitar cab feel) that stays on the floor. Almost like a W/D/W setup. thankfully the Axe III has many outputs.
Playing through an amp/cab has messed with my paradigm again. Throw me a bone or two and tell me I'm not going crazy
