So many FRFR's...

[Timmsie95]

The time hour l has come for me to start saving for FRFR's for my Helix.

I will be running my guitar, and bass through it. I play 7 string guitars and 5 string basses sometimes, tuned to drop A.

I've narrowed it down to either a pair of Line 6 L3M's, or a pair of Atomic CLR Cabs. I'm leaning towards the line 6 ones, because it's tri-amped, and theres a low driver, a high and mid driver, and the tweeter (if I remember right) so it will handle the bass frequencies better, I think.
But the Atomics look more backline style, so that's a plus, but I don't mind that the L3M's don't look like a guitar cab.

The other thing with the Line 6 speakers, is I can connect them via L6 Link, which is basically a digital Aes/EBU cable, that is proprietary to Line 6, and they are more powerful (i play metal... Loud... Loud drummers...)
Plus, I can use them as PA speakers for the whole band, If I need to.

What is your opinion? Should I also look at the Matrix or Mission offerings?

Where are you going to use them and what for ?

 

[Timmsie95]

Small to medium venues, and home. Using mainly for guitar as my main speakers, but also through the pa for medium venues.

Well either of the choices mentioned will get the job done. I personally lean towards the Atomic CLRs.

Ideal is to try to do some sort of a comparison.

I have played through an L3M, but it was a while ago. It's hard to find the atomic ones around here, so i wouldn't be able to play through one unless i ordered it and returned it if i didn't like it.
I'm leaning towards the line 6, because it's easier, and i could get it quicker in Canada.

That's actually not a bad point, availability.

I don't think you'll go far wrong with them and you can try them out.
