Sorry that they don't work for you, but please don't try and tell those of us who are doing it that it can't be done. It's possible to create excellent stage sound using a variety of approaches. Those 'farty' frfr cabs are the same ones that do mains pa duties on thousands of stages across the world. 

 

The purpose of FRFR cabs is different. They serve GREAT duty, they provide excellent comfort and greatest monitoring, but I cannot agree that they can provide a decent sound (compared to typical amplifiers, that usually are terrible at monitoring duties and not comfortable).

 

I directly and thoroughly compared 1000W FRFR Fender ToneMaster cab paired Quad Cortex to quite cheap guitar tube amps like Marshall DSL and JetCity 50 with 412 and... well, the Cortex + ToneMaster performance was a joke.
