Just got my DXR 10 yesterday.
First of all....I'd like to thank everybody here for sharing their experiences in this fantastic forum. Special tanks to Ingolf for his video comparisons.
I really wanted to get the passive CLR Cabinet from Atomic but shipment costs (in case I don't like them) and the feeling that I would keep the DXR for uses w/o the Kemper as well made me buy the DRX first. Maybe I'll get a CLR later on.
I also was not sure if the Kemper Power Amp will be loud enough with a passive cabinet.
My settings:
All DSP's off, switch set to line (not mic), I use the line in input.
Sound:
I really, really like the sound at different volumes! Clean and crunch sounds work very well. Even high gain sounds (e.g. palm muted power chords) sound very well. Very nice bass as well. And....it can be super loud! SUPER LOUD!
Absolutely a winner so far.
The only negative point is the hiss/noise that comes from the DXR itself. I can not recommend this speaker if you only want to use it at low volumes. The noise ist very annoying.
As soon as you play loud....you don't here it at all....most of my tube amp make actually more noise.
It's probably tube amp noise simulation by Yamaha
Next step: Try it out with band during rehearsal...many great sounding setups have been failing badly in the past when playing live.....
Cheers,
Rainer
