Just curious... After being a member here for a few months, it seems like the Yamaha DXR series is the only PA style cabinet ever recommended as a monitor. There are about a half dozen FRFR floor wedges and amp-style cabinets that get tossed around as suggestions, but when it comes to PA bins, it's always the DXR.
Is it "bang for the buck", a "critical mass" effect, or is there something about the DXR compared to its competitors that lends itself better to digital guitar? And by "critical mass", I don't mean anything negative. The SM57 is often the critical-mass mic recommended to a first timer, because everyone has used it, everyone knows that it is decent for most applications. And while it might not always be the best mic in a given situation, it's solid, usable, and won't break the bank, hence a better recommendation than something more esoteric.
Is the DXR series the SM57 of PA cabs, or is it something else?
