It is a valid option, but for my ears, 2 V30s are the best. I heard several options and i like the tone of the V30s best with high gain. But, again, I'll be testing everything :) I reached the conclusion that what's best to my ears is the real deal, not the sheets of specs or reviews. I'll tell...

OK, thanks. I'm somewhat driven/attracted to this option too. I read very interesting positive reviews about it lately. I'll be testing the hell out of anything I put my hands on, anyway :) Thank you.

Thank you all for your answers. But, unfortunately, I am extremely limited because of the fact that in Romania there are only a few guitar shops and their stocks are not very varied. So, although Thomann has some AMT pedals, I wouldn't like to buy any without prior tests. That's why I proposed...

Of course it depends, but given the fact that my budget is somehow low and that I will be using a cheap-ish processor, I think a SS would do fine. Moreover, in extreme metal, it could be tighter and punchier at low volumes and low prices. I'd love a tube amp, but I'm afraid I can't afford a good...

Well...now I have the VK Royal 8 combo and, although the bigger speaker means a lot, I tend to think that the VK series is very bright, sort of British-sounding and I'm more of an American-modern style, like the 6505, Mesa and the like. So I'll try it at the local store, but I doubt that I'll...

Hello again! I'd like to revive this discussion since I haven't exactly decided on buying something, but I narrowed the search and I think I have some possible solutions. So I decided to stick with the somehow classical setup, i.e. either with a guitar combo or head+cabinet. There are some...

OK, thank you all. I'll head to stores and friends and try as many pieces as possible (both active speakers and monitors) and then decide. Again, thanks for all your answers. Regards, Adrian

OK, so I read thoroughly what you all suggested and also read a couple of reviews of the Equators. Indeed, they seem the real deal for the money, at least. But, as I said, the problem is that I will not buy anything in the following weeks at least. First I have to sell my amp and there are some...

@Robert: Of course, headphones are the best in OP. I plan on buying some good ones too. BUT the problem is monitoring. I need to be able to play and jam with my friends (no drummer, as I said) so I need a replacement for my amp and I chose active speakers. @arv: Wouldn't 8" speakers perform...

Yes, sir, you got it right! I don't want an amp/cab/combo, but active speakers or studio monitors. I noticed that the 5"-8" range is the one I afford. So you mean that the active speakers are as affected by the lack of acoustical treatment as the studio monitors? I mean...aren't studio...

Funny... I'm sure it won't let down BUT... I forgot to mention my budget... $400 MAX, so...

Hi, glad to have found you! I am a bedroom guitarist and I mainly play downtuned (extreme) metal. I have a 7 string guitar (Ibanez Apex II) which I usually tune at least a full step down and play with much distortion (Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Paradise Lost...). I want to sell my crappy...
