As you're in the UK I'd stay away from the boutique US made stuff - simply because repairs would be a bit of a nightmare. The CLR was being flogged via a few UK musical retailers but it seems constantly 'awaiting arrival' - last time I looked anyway. I've formed the impression that it's a bit dodgy in terms of reliability from reports on here ..... so throwing it in and out of a van and our lovely damp UK atmosphere is bound to test it.
I'd normally say the EU would be safer .... but what Brexit might bring (or not bring) throws a damp speaker cone over that option at the moment. Those Red speakers that Marco Fanton uses (endorses?) seem pretty good.
That leaves you more or less jammed into trying to use something UK manufactured specifically for FRFR guitar modelling or maybe more conventional internationally made stage monitors that can be bought through UK based distributors or retail outlets with warranty and repair channels - EG RCF NX12-SMA which was highly regarded as a good box for the AxeFX back a few years ago. Pricey but good ( having heard quite a few stage monitors in my time the RCFs always seem to be the best ones)
The Matrix gear is pretty good. I have a FR212 (it's a passive 2x12 with 1inch HF) which I've never used and would flog.
