I received a few new frfr cabs this week. I got a 2nd Xitone passive cab and a Headrush FRFR-112, both used off ebay. I'm playing these with an AX8.
I'm running the two Xitones with a Matrix GT800FX and they sound and feel great. I used to have a CLR and although the CLR sounded a tad better, the Xitone feels much better - almost like a real cab. They have the punch that the CLR lacked. Now that I have a matching pair the stereo punch I'm getting is awesome. I'm not going to say this setup is better than my modded DSL through a 4x12, but it is so much more convenient in every way.
That said, I'm surprised how good this Headrush sounds. Very surprised in fact. I got it for around $200 shipped and the 2000 watts makes this stupid loud. I'm not going to say it's as good as the Xitone, but it's pretty damn close. $ for $ this is the best frfr cab available IMHO. Two new, powered Headrush 112s would cost around $600 shipped while the Xitones w/Matrix power amp new would cost $1600+. I'm not going to say I'm going to get rid of my Xitones, but I would not hesitate to use this Headrush live.
