I know a guy who plays arenas and uses a 45 amp. And they use wedges not IEMs, and he can hear his amp and cab.I liken them to Fender Twins and Bassman 4x10s on guitar. They sound damn flipping good when opened way up. But who the hell needs to open them way up? Honestly, at this point, even if I was doing arenas I wouldn't have one. 2x12 is MORE than enough for anything I do nowadays. And anything I would need more for, has full PA support. And that array with the cardioid sub setup has a hell of a lot more punch and throw than any amp.
