They sell them Sweetwater where I have room on the ole CCWhat makes the Line 6 powered cabs look so much more inviting than say Xitone or CLR? The price difference is not that much between the two.

Ha, Ok that makes sense! I just watched the vid on the Line 6 112 and it looks like it could be cool. It does have some options that CLR or Xitone don't have. I will say 250 watts might be a tad shy on power if you get really loud & heavy. I know my CLR will bring it on the heavy stuff you just need to know how to EQ it.
A guitar speaker and a Full range speaker have different X-Max values so you might want to look into that subject. It will explain how a single 12" FR speaker can deliver lowend.
Good to know!
It really isn't even the price that gives me any pause....I've spent a lot lately on music stuff and lets just say I want to avoid any more imperial attention
Its funny you posted this becuse going thru the samething. I have seen other ppl rigs one guy uses 2 2 by 12 cabs, am think of doing the same or powered speakersHowdy folks -
Looking to build a rig from scratch around the AX8. I'm primarily a home player, but want to be able to jam with friends and play the occasional small bar gig. Maybe some church usage as well. I play (not well, but hey) all kinds of music from metal to country. From my research the AX8 really sounds like it will give me the versatility I crave and be an awesome tool for using with my Apollo Twin/Logic for recording.
My question - I don't know WTF to do re: FRFR or power amp and cap.
Lately I've been playing through amp sims in my Apollo Twin with studio monitors half the time and also through a 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb + tons of pedals the rest. I vastly prefer the feel from the Deluxe - though I get better recordings when using UAD sims.
Are any of the FRFR solutions similar in feel to a amp in a room? Maybe the Friedman or the new Line 6 powered cab? How do these work when jamming with a bassist + drummer when no PA is present (I want a big, full heavy tone)?
Or would I be better off getting a power amp and an Orange 2x12 or something similar?
Thanks in advance!

I have no personal experience, but I think the general consensus on the Stealth is that it isn't very flat, and I believe it performs poorly at higher volumes.I think I'm about to purchase the ISP Stealth power amp and a 2x12 cab that is wired to run in stereo.
I figure I can use my studio monitors for FRFR testing and eventually by powered monitors if I like that better.
Good to know, thanks for the tip.I have no personal experience, but I think the general consensus on the Stealth is that it isn't very flat, and I believe it performs poorly at higher volumes.
I think the Powerstage 170 is in that range and seems to get good reviews. I have no experience with that, either.Good to know, thanks for the tip.
Is there generally well reviewed power amp in the 300-400 dollar range? I've seen Matrix recommended a lot but those seem to be fairly expensive and aren't available at Sweetwater or MF.
Did you ever get your Xitone? Would be curious to know how you feel it compares to the guitar cab/power amp.When I get my xitone I'll do my best to answer the question. So far though I just don't have any experience with the frfr side.
A power amp and cab will obviously get you there though. Basically imagine having a warehouse full of heads that you can pick out and stack on your cab... That's basically how it is with an ax8 and a real cab.

I ended up getting a Line 6 Powercab - I think it sounds pretty good but not 100% sold on it. Debating trying the powerstage 170 and a 2x12 Laney cab loaded with V30s.
