I've gone with Neodymium lightweight speakers in a DVMark 2X12 cab voiced for guitar. I use a Crown XLS 1502 for power for my unpowered Kemper and it rocks in stereo or the beastly mono bridge mode for which I have a special Speakon altered just for that mode-it takes a lot of SS power to do what a 40 watt tube combo can do. No part of my rig weighs over 27lb and most parts are under 10 lbs. I use my venerable and affordable Berhinger Ultrastack for FRFR rehearsal since it is so heavy I never want to move it again. It is cool to have something with FRFR so you can test out your cabs.
Paralysis When Choosing FRFR?

I have had really good luck with the accugroove java 112s, one passive and one active with the powered toaster. They use a coaxial config which acts like studio monitors at low volumes but gives a really decent amp in the room vibe at gig level.
It’s difficult to find reviews of these anywhere. Still using them?

I just picked up a Laney FR-112. So far it's great. It's kind of in between a real cab and a PA speaker. Previously with my Helix, I used a Friedman ASM-12. It pretty much sucked. Too heavy and just sounded dull and lifeless.

I've been using a Atomic CLR-NEO for almost 7 years... Small , light and sounds great

I’d love to compare the Laney FR-112 with the Tech 21 PEDD. Possibly the ISP Vector FS8

FR-112 is just brilliant for the price. One of the few items I super-optimistically preordered in my life (generally I avoid preorders), but I've had the Laney cab for more than a year now and can't recommend it enough. Will probably get a second one soon for a stereo setup.
