The 8" powered speakers are lighter and take up less space. I've read a lot about these speakers online from people who seem to be downsizing to the latest 8" powered speakers. There seem to be a lot of satisfied players, guitarist and keyboardist, who are using them for stage monitoring? Someone said if you're using them as stage monitors then the FOH speakers will provide some bass compensation on stage? Some folks are happy using them as a small main PA with stands and a subwoofer? Any thoughts? IEMs (KZ AS10s) are my priority, but I may need to provide or rent a PA at some point. The Headrush FRFR-108 has an appealing price tag.

Definitely interested in a Shuriken with quilted veneer charcoal burst and/or a spalted veneer natural black burst satin finish. Both with satin necks ideally. EDIT: Specifically the SR250. Would prefer a normal headstock vs reverse, but that's ok. Really looking for a modern double cutaway next-gen Variax.
