have the power head KPA into a guitar cab. Sounds great but want to be able to use cab sims now. Is there an inexpensive one to use in the house? (gigging with guitar cab)
Good inexpensive passive FRFR speaker?

What do you class as inexpensive buddy
-
$100 to $200
-
Oh not sure I can help there. I use the DXR10's by yamaha and they are awesome but they are a bit more than $200

I haven't tried them myself but the Electro Voice ELX112 are supposed to be quite good. The passive version is about 300€ new. Since you have the power head you don't really need an active speaker so this might be an option especially used.

I have tried the Behringer B212d - which is a cheap powered FRFR. Nice decent cleans but it farts out when doing any chugga chugga. The studio monitors Behringer B2031A are good though - try to get a couple secondhand. Strictly for home use Id prefer studio monitors. The new NL12 by Matrix Amplification ? - although thats outside of your budget maybe. My 2 cents.

yea I was thinking about studio speakers. I love the sound thru my guitar cab but, can't use the cabs. Like to hear what difference, that makes. Don't need it so, wanted to not spend a lot of cash. Thanks for the info I'll look into this stuff.
what about this ? http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/VS1220F.aspx

Dunno but cheapest tried and tested FRFR are the EV ELX or the newer ZLX . Anything below this pricewise I suggest you test yourself in person. Don't skimp on the last part of your chain though. Even a tiny Marshall MS-2 can sound huge :-). http://youtu.be/GalJHr4EOEk.

I'm using two of these with my camplifier: http://profesional.beyma.com/ingles/pdf/12GA50.pdf
Got them for 75 euros each. -
I use two Fender Squier SQ12M wedge monitors. Very cheap. It has a guitar looking 12" and a horn. The horn is really not intrusive at all. I drilled a port to let the lows "breathe"
