Can we all agree that the Atomic CLR is king of the FRFR...

[chrisjnyc]

I think we can all agree that the CLR is king of the FRFR for modelers... So what is #2??

I am basing this on tone and reliability... not on price, size, weight, etc

 

[thornie]

Not for me. The Friedman ASM is the king, with the Atomic nipping at its heels.

Oh, sh!t... look what you started

There is where you went wrong.

I guess we can agree on that, though it is not my favorite FRFR (on tone), and the one I owned had a problem right out of the box..... so, on 2nd thought, I guess I don't agree on that.

I like the Yamaha DXR10. Is it perfect? No. Is it "the best?" Probably not, but it's my favorite of the 4 I've tried with modelers.

Carry on.

I sold my CLR. I'm not in agreement either lol

 

[Blanket Jackson]

CLRs are pretty powerful, full, clear (pun intended).
They are still pretty bulky for city life.
Being a New Yorker what I really need is all the goods plus *P*O*R*T*A*B*L*E*

I prefer the XiTone 1x12 Passive Wedge, which, IMHO is as good if not better in terms of tone and build quality/construction/reliability, and fantastic customer support. Built like an M1A2 Abrams tank.

if you really want to sniff some cork, try a meyer speaker
but you're looking at 3-4 grand
pretty sure they don't offer a neo though
hell of a lot of speaker in the atomic

Picking a monitor because it has better tone is like picking a mirror because it makes you look skinny.

When has The Gear Page ever agreed as one voice on anything?

That is a whole other level. Played through those for a few year. They are like nothing else I have every played

I think we can all agree that ...

Nah.

 

[Imerkat]

There is nothing we all can agree on. I like my Atomic Reactor Wedge feels like and amp. If i wanted perfect fidelity i would monitor my self through studio headphones all the time.

I think most people missed my intent for this thread... It wasn't to say the CLR is better the XYZ, I was saying the CLR is one of the best speakers for use with a modeler, and based on that assumption what would call 2nd best. What would you call 3rd best.

Again, I am not accounting for price, weight, availability, etc.

Let me me re-phrase the question:

Your band got picked to open up for a major headlining band, and you cant use an amp. The tour promoter asks what you want for your back line... What would that FRFR speaker be?

 

[deanesque]

Picking a monitor because it has better tone is like picking a mirror because it makes you look skinny.

That analogy doesn't work because the monitor is part of the tone and everyone will hear it whereas you won't be carrying a mirror around and insist everyone look at it instead of directly at you.

No one except me and maybe my bandmates hears my CLR. I trust it to tell me how I really sound (or more precisely, how the signal I'm sending to FOH really sounds). I don't want to be in sonic bliss onstage while my audience is getting icepicks in the ears.
