I'm a 2 x 12 guitar cab on stage kind of guy......can't get used to the sound of my KPA straight into the PA or a powered cab.....I may get the chance to try something higher quality in the future that works for me......hard to find somewhere to try that in the in UK though.....
With my 2 x 12 cab and Celestion speakers, I think I sometimes hear some unpleasant artefacts....possibly speaker distortion......so I'm wondering about speakers that would still be 'guitar speakers' and have those characteristics of smoothing out harshness in distortion sounds, but would be higher wattage avoiding speaker distortion - and hence suited to my 600W KPA powerhead?
Of course I want my sound to be clear and break through the mix, but I can use EQ for that......generally I much prefer a round / warm sound to anything at all harsh.
Any ideas?
Also, those in the UK, do you know of anywhere that I could take my Kemper in order to try out FRFR monitors that might work for me - and what ones would you suggest?
Although I might need to adapt away from the 'beams of sound" effect I'm used to from my guitar cab, it's more that I so far haven't been able to replicate the "organic" warmth of my profiles through a PA or FRFR cab, as I perceive them through my guitar cab.
So, no dogma here, happy to evolve but need some guidance
Cheers,
Andy
