If you have an FR speaker that you're playing the Axe through, do you need power/cab simulation bypassed? Or do you leave it enabled because the range of the speaker is so large that you get to play with the power/cab sim on and it doesn't physically throttle the highs and lows out AGAIN (like it would with a cab- sound too muddy)?

Also, if an FR speaker is supposed to sound as though you were in the audience listening to a cab, and given the knowledge that what an audience member hears is very different from what you set up on-stage, then what *does* an audience member actually hear (assuming you set up your FR to sound good on-stage)? I guess a better question is, what should you keep in mind as you are setting up your Axe+FR speaker so that the audience gets to hear what you intend?

Thanksgiving's a week and a half away! I always eat too much.
 
To answer this in a nut shell, The whole point of FR is to be able to use the ALL the sims in the Axe to your advantage. So if you dial in a tone that you like on stage (sound man and PA willing) it will be what the audience hears.
