Greetings from Spain (sorry for my bad english).
I'm searching for an inexpensive FRFR solution for my AXE FX2. 400$ range. I've already read many of the threads about this topic, but I'm still a bit confused and I would like to delimit my options to the cheapest ones.
Now, I'm playing several ways. With my main band (a large rock/metal cover band) I'm going direct to FOH, listening to myself through the monitor speakers.
I have another rock band with smaller gigs. Here I'm using an ART SLA2 power amp and a 2x12 cabinet with FRFR beymas inside. 250W each canal. It sounds really good.
But now I'm joining another band (musician life, you know... xD) and I'm searching for a holy grail: Enough headroom both for front monitoring and rear source, clean/true FRFR (I mean, what I have in my studio monitors at home is what I get on the speaker), inexpensive, portable...
SO, after reading a lot of threads, webs... I have several options:
Headrush FRFR-112: This is my first option. I have only seen good opinions. 1000W RMS/2000W peak. Super-portable, only 300$, people who has tried it says it is clean and sounds the same as in their homes (headphones, studio monitors...). The cons: Only one 12" drive, and maybe the esthetic (but this is secondary)
If it meets expectations I could even take a pair for not losing my stereo presets.

Laney LFR-112: It looks nice in vids. Nice esthetic, cheap (~400$). People say it sounds clear and response is quite flat. 2 drivers (12" FRFR + 1" compresion driver). Cons: "Only" 200W RMS. I guess it could be enough but compared with other 1000W ones... don't know...

QSC: 2 options, the CP8 (~480$), and the "K" series (8.2, 10.2, 12.2) but these are on 700$+ range. In principle, it's not for my pocket.
ISP Technologies Vector FS8: I have discovered this option recently and it looks quite good. 600$. Here are the specs: http://www.isptechnologies.com/portfolio/vector-fs8/
Edit: 2 new models are in game: the Alto ts312, wich seems quite the same as the headrush, and the Yamaha dx r10.
And now is where you come. Advices about these ones? Of course I'm open to "discover" new ones, but please note the money range I'm moving. I know the existence of the friedman, line 6, atomic, Gemini2 products... but sadly I can't afford that right now
THANKS in advance!
