The world, well, maybe just the world of guitarists using modelers, needs reliable, good quality, accurate cabinets. I’m happy with what I use, but it would have been nice to have had some more choices when I was looking.
There’s no doubt, amplification options (especially top quality, purpose built ones) are the speed bump keeping modelers from the growth they could be experiencing. It’s one of the reasons I hope Atomic does make that turnaround and earn some trust back in the community. But I’d love to see the options continue to expand, and have a Fractal Audio or PRS type experience in performance and support with my speakers, too!
I’d like to see Fractal do it too, but I don’t want to see Fractal spread themselves too thin. I’d rather they focus on their primary product, especially these days with such difficulty getting parts. I’m sure they would create a killer product though.
Oh yeah, I agree with you. I’d really rather the stayed in their lane, though I’d surely buy one if they made one. I mean the customer experience I’ve had with FAS and PRS. Both have been levels above of any other musical purchase experience for me.
Agreed. I had my PRS 509 in to replace a pickup I (accidentally) broke when adjusting it, and decided to have them do a full setup on it, because, when I got it someone had done their idea of a setup. It was expensive, mostly because of shipping and they charge a good amount for those particular pickups, but, dang, it plays really well with the factory setup. It's good enough that I have no interest in changing it.
He actually called me last Friday wanting to make it right, mines been over a year process, sent to him beginning of January 2022. Received it back in May $250 later and wasn’t fixed. Many many attempts to contact him and finally called me Friday. He said less than a week turnaround, no charge! He should get it tomorrow morning. Optimistic!
I agree. He hasn’t handled it well, not remaining in contact with those who were waiting, and he’ll have to own that… I’m sure he permanently lost some customers. But he’s been steadily in touch and taking care of business since we had the first phone conversation, so I’m hopeful that’s a genuine turning point. The CLR is the best FRFR I’ve heard, and it can only help everyone (Tom included) for Atomic to get back up and running, both selling and servicing speakers.
What was the symptom? Did it occur after the unit had been powered on for some length of time, or could it happen immediately on power-up?
Wow. Nobody's ever said that about a loudspeaker, ever..... [/sarcasm]

Cute
I am looking at the MiniDsp amps with IcePower that have spdif/AES digital ins and FFT FIR filters that can interface with REW and the MiniDsp Umic.
I'd like to see carbon fiber or something 3D printed for the cabinet so the acoustics of the cabinet can be engineered as perfectly as can be, and strong and light.
