Thanks for the insight and help! Sounds like a very good option. Being able to set tones with IEM or headphones seems like a good approach. I have some pretty good IEM I use. If I can swing it, I may do headphones and the PA speakers. Maybe

Thank you for all of the good feedback and suggestions! It sounds like most would suggest the powered PA speakers over powered studios monitors. And possibly add a good set of headphones. I really appreciate the help! Randy

Hello, (my first post). I'm close to purchasing a Helix. I currently play Tom Anderson guitars (T, S, and LP) through a pedalboard into a Carr Skylark. I want to move to Helix only. (No guitar amp or pedalboard) I primarily play at church and at home. At church there are no wedges, everyone uses IEM. (So I don't need any wedge, backline, etc.) My main concern is how to monitor at home? I would like for it to sound good at home but my primary concern is being able to create tones at home that will sound as good as possible in the church FOH. We have a very professional sound system and full time audio guys. I've asked one of the Sweetwater reps and he has suggested the Line 6 L2M. I have read many forums and watched countless videos but I've not found my situation. It seems like most players are using some type of stage monitoring as well. (which I don't need) It doesn't seem like headphones are the way to go. So I'm primarily looking between studio monitors such as the Yamaha HS, or some form of PA speaker such as the L2M or the Yamaha DBR/DRX. I hate to ask the same similar question but I'm fairly confused. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
