Tone is subjective. Again, what sounds good to you may not sound good to me. If you want to use the POD to it's fullest potential, then stick with flat response speakers IE: PA, keyboard amp, etc.

Would this sound as good as say just plugging my guitar into a Peavey Vypr or something?

Or better yet, what do i use to power PA speakers? A mixer, power amp? Pre-amp? I'm new to this sorry...

Thanks, I'll look into that. That would be pretty much a PA anyway wouldn't it? Could I power 12" PA speakers with a Crate power block?

For what is worth, I use a cabinet I built with my toneport UX8. Is 2 12" woofers and 2 tweeters. Very simple. Amplified by a Crate Powerblock. I think it sounds great.

Would playing in my bedroom constitute "live"? haha

If you're going to be using them primarily for live use then yes, go with PA Speakers.

I used the term recording studio loosely, I'll be more clear. Pretty much the only recording I'll be doing on it is with Riffworks for my guitar. The main thing I'll be using it for is a guitar amp. Would the PA speakers be able to give more of a true guitar sound since I could get 10 or 12 inch speakers? For a deeper sound?
