To put into simple terms, I’m looking for a set of speakers to take place of some like this
Robot or human?
www.walmart.com
Those Laney speakers would do the job, but if I’m going to spend that money, I want the speakers to have use-age otherwise, too for audio work in general and listening. May as well be stereo. I will want these speakers to adapt to different needs like a “B” set of monitors for my studio
This is a trend in the guitar players world out there today. They call it FRFR: Full Range Flat Response.
Basically mic’d guitar speaker cabinet is turned into an impulse response, then played through “monitors” be that studio monitors, PA speakers, or these FRFR speakers, that are kind of a gimmick in my eye.
I will be using them to monitor guitar playing. Guitar speakers frequency response is as such (see picture of graph of Celestion V30 speaker)
Notice it drops off above 5K: the beaming issue is a bit different with electric guitar speakers
Whichever speakers I go with, they will have to be point source - either coaxial/dual concentric OR better to match a guitar speaker cab: single driver speaker. Needs to have good horizontal and vertical directivity.
Important: there can’t be any DSP unless the delay is under 1 ms
Speakers I’ve looked at so far
DMAX super cube 5: these would be great but the DSP is 7 ms
MOFI sourcepoint 10: these are probably the best option so far, as they have the physical aesthetic that is close to a guitar speaker, but they are too expensive also needing an amp.
GR-research LGK 2.1: these might work. Crossing over below 200 hz is acceptable. Getting 4 of these and making a wall of sound could be fun. However, I don’t know if I want to support this company based on the way they deal with cables. Expensive cables and extension cords are a red flag to me as I am an electrician and it goes against my ethics
Aura-tones and other cube speakers would be a last resort
I posted a similar thread on GS and they basically said I was crazy (I don’t disagree)
