OK, thank you!I've used the K10 for small gigs and liked it.
I've worked a lot with the KW 112 and think that this is their best sounding option for guitar.
I'd say "TRY IT AND SEE!"
I have a gig coming up and thought I might check out another option until the CLR comes back (whenever that might be).Just to warn you, the QSC sounds nothing like the CLR. I have CLR's and a K10. They sound nothing alike to my ears, and I would find it difficult to play through a K10 again now that I have used the CLR. But in a pinch, you will at least be able to hear yourself. Why not just pick up another (used) CLR?
QSC K. CP series has smooth tremble, mids sound ok, lows are a bit hyped. I prefer the floor monitor position, with a bit of low end eq added. Or eq flat if i want to cut trhu the mix without disturbing the band... CP also is very very compact as added bonus.QSC has muddy midrange and hyped treble and bass response. The mids sounded like they were quite a distance away. Highs and lows were out of proportion to the mids too. But the mids sounding distant and muddy is in addition to them being "low in the mix".
But he didn't mention K series...QSC K series is for DJs first IME. Well made, light and loud but require some EQ to achieve a closer to neutral sound.
I'm pretty happy with the Celestion F12-X200 - more people should try one in a cab they already have IMO, especially for a backup.
Yes UG you are right, quoting a music retail friend, I was overly specific on sub-brand.But he didn't mention K series...
Edit:
Maybe you were replying to the thread in general?
Ok... So you're talking about the cabs. The last post before your reply is maybe a bit misplaced in this thread because he is asking about an amp, not a powered speaker.Yes UG you are right, quoting a music retail friend, I was overly specific on sub-brand.
He, pre-pandemic, sold a lot of DJ gear and QSC flew off the shelves.
He thought highly of it, but not its neutrality.
I'm not a hater, I have the old school, feels like and lugs like real wood QSC PA gear, the HPR line, and its heavy, but I also think it holds together better at high volume than the newer, light and loud composite plastic boxes.
I will also post some shots of the Celestion in an Avatar cab, I really like it for an also less accurate than a CLR but feels like a cab vibe with IRs.
You should check out the Xitone stuff. Sounds great, transports well and ultra durable. Unlike the CLRs that seem to get a dent or chip if you look at them sidewaysI think the key thing with using IR for live, and not just out to the PA, is to find what YOU like.
I love the CLR but only for home use. Live I find it hard to carry, and totally not worth the hassle. It is the best dispersal and most accurate to my ears, but versus taking anything else, I'd rather carry that. I've got earplugs in anyway, have to with live drums, so the nuances are well and truly lost for me and the audience.
