I didn't find this speaker - I was put on to it by a colleague - so I take no credit for it.
The only other FRFR options I have personally tried and personally played are the DXR10 and the standard CLR - both great - I personally preferred the DXR10 as it was more guitar-like - the CLR was great but was just too nice and even for my ears - too " monitory " - plenty of volume but not enough "gut-punch".
For the sounds and tones I use ...... and using it as a backline "amp" live on stage as I do ....... this homemade box and celestion leaves both the others in the dust ....... <= yes I did just say that ......... as always though YMMV
If you have a spare 1 x 12 cab / box laying around ...... or you just buy [ or build ] a good one ...... this is a total FRFR no-brainer
Peace to all !
