I'm not sure about his comments about the Line 6 speakers - getting the best out of them requires you to adjust the way you use your modeller, and there are a number of other claims early on in the video that I would describe as 'tabloid journalism' - broad generalisations that verge on misrepresentation.


But I find it interesting that the two lower range speakers and his preferred RCF model are all dual concentric, like that other speaker that gets consistently good reviews, the Atomic CLR (I've not checked the spec on others). 


Have we now achieved consensus for FRFR rigs that the gold standard is dual concentric?

Since I can't hear above 12k. The Kemper Kone remains my fave -zero crossover =zero crossover phase distortion



In most situations,  one could substitute the closed back Cube 80XL for a Kemper Kab and have similar experience

I'm sure it's my own deficiency but I could barely stand 38 seconds of that, let alone 38 minutes.

I did skip lots of it too.  Mainly the playing :-)
