I probably wont need both.
I'm not sure what you have planned regarding cabinets for these but you might be interested to know that I built a couple of cabs to the specs recommended by Celestion. If you're doing the same, I found the ports muddied up the sound a lot. I rebuilt the baffles without them and it was a huge improvement. YMMV though.
Thanks for that.

I was going to modify my Friedman 112 to replicate the open back design of the Barefaced 112 I had earlier this year. It was a great cab but I wasn't impressed with the quality of finishing.

Any good quality passive stage monitor will blow away most 'FRFR' speakers. Most of the guitar FRFR ones I've seen are poorly designed and seem to me to be a bit of a marketing exercise. There have been extremely fabulous FRFR speakers for 30 years, they are called PA systems.

Post a budget and I can recommend some.
