None of which are close to the actual response of the speaker.

Sweetwater offered me a new one for $450, free shipping. Done.
I may also have ordered another QC. A demo unit.

For some reason, this exact meme was in my head as I hit the Checkout button.

I'm sure neither is the Laney LFR. But both of them sound great, which is what matters. There's not a lot of great options for powered cabs that look like guitar speaker cabs. The Fenders and Laneys are about all I can think of.

What does "sound great" mean vs flat?

It means that while not flat, it................sounds great. The tones are pleasing. I am delighted with what enters my ear holes.

I'm wrestling with whether or not to pick up a FR-10 and a FM3.
I have an invitation to play with some legendary Philadelphia Jazz musicians at a small club here and while not too heavy, the FR-12 and FM9 rig I currently have, with a guitar or two, would be more than I want to haul to a place and audience of this limited size. My current rig is really overkill for this venue.
I'd rather not spend the bucks but I can see how the FR-10 and FM3 could be very useful in a variety of situations and I do have another Archangel V2 Gold preamp waiting to be installed in a second FR.

What does that even mean? I made an observation about the quality and accuracy of response data that were taken by someone who does not know how to acquire loudspeaker response data. I said absolutely nothing about the actual response of the speaker, nor do I have the slightest idea what that response might look like. As a gesture of goodwill to the group, if someone in the DFW area will loan me a speaker to test, I'll be happy to acquire and share real response data.

Sorry, misread it. Thought you meant about how flat the cab was. Nvm.

Please buy my FM3! I'm spending myself into bankruptcy over here.

Unfortunately I'm not there yet but thanks for letting me know.Please buy my FM3! I'm spending myself into bankruptcy over here.
Getting the FR-10 is doable financially but adding the FM3 would make it a significantly larger investment and since I already have a III and the FM9 I don't know if I can really justify the expenditure.
I keep thinking about getting another FM3 and very well may at some point but I'm still going back and forth on it.

I understand completely. Though my irresponsible behavior today might lead one to suspect otherwise.

FR-10 is tiny, sounds great. It's got the "hiss" but - fussy as I typically am about these things - not enough to bother me. The tilt back legs are great for filling the room, and the Cut control is like magic sauce.
My only complaint is that the tolex appears to have been applied by an angry raccoon. The folds aren't symmetrical, the worst angles are on the front instead of the back where they belong, and there are no corner protectors to hide it. It looks like a Christmas present wrapped by a drunk person. A man, presumably.
