I absolutely love the tone I get with my Carvin BX500 through the headphones.
How do I achieve this tone through a cab? I'm guessing that I need a cab that doesn't color the tone? Help almighty TB!

Maybe P.A Speakers? They're designed to not 'color' the tone, though some are better at this than others! This is one of the reasons I am getting PA speakers for my 'cab', but I'm poor so I can only afford crappy ones 
Good luck man.
Peace.

Definitely a power amp. (How did I forget that?) Don't amps color the sound more than cabs anyway?

Earphones create a different acoustic environment. Can't be done in an open room.
You may get better or worse, but it 100% CANNOT be the same.

| | | | I know this should go to another thread, but why do sound mixers in churches wear headphones the entire service? This fits right into what has been said above - the headphones put you into an un-real acoustic world. What you hear is NOT what the audience hears. Can I get an amen! |

| | | | Assuming your useing nice headphones in the $100 or up price range, your gonna need a high qaulity hifi full range speaker system. Going from processor to house PA is ussuallky the closest most get to that unless they spend a lot for their personal bass rig. Brands like Eden, Markbass, etc are going to get you more into that hifi sound area as example. Of course these cost a fair amount to. For full range sound on the cheap, something like the JBL eon powered Pa spaekers can do pretty good job of it and have a overall fun sound to them.
