OP here. Fat and sassy after eating my body weight in eggs and red meat. (does anyone on this forum like that stuff as well? or bourbon too?)
To the matter at hand:
Just so that I am clear, I do record and play a lot through my Yamaha HS5 speakers. Is that 'like' a FRFR setup? A few of you had mentioned studio monitors and I was wondering if that is what you were getting at. I should have clarified but I was talking about a FRFR cabinet (like a 212 or something of the like). If it's really no different than playing through my Yammy's then let me know ASAP!
My cabinet is garbage.....I promise you it's not my only cabinet. I bought it as a throwaway cab to leave in a jam space with some guys that I don't jam with anymore. I don't have a hundo to burn....but I felt like I wouldn't miss the $100 cabinet if something crazy happened.....ya never know.
I also have an old 80's Randall Snakeskin Half Stack. I have no clue what is in the 4x12 Cabinet but it looks amazing! I also have a Custom Built Cabinet from a company called electric amp at electricamp.com. It's very nice looking as well and has Eminence Man O War Speakers in it. I wanted V30's but was young and got persuaded to the MOW for metal by the company. I also have a Carvin 2X12 with the GT12 speakers in it. I just use the POS Marshall Cabinet for convenience.
Ultimately there has been a lot for me to consider here.....and I think I was just successfully talked out of buying a FRFR cabinet. For some reason, I thought it was going to be this ear shattering result that would make me drool and cringe in ecstasy every time I looked at my Axe-FX FRFR setup. But a lot of you kind folk seem to be claiming that a Power Amp through a traditional Speaker Cab is, indeed, the way to go.
Any final thoughts from either side? Still kind of giving this one last consideration nudge.
