do any of you guys use studio monitors to use with amp sims????
what studio monitors would you recommend for this type of setup?

I use a pair of iLoud MTMs as my studio monitors. They’re great studio monitors and get loud, but they also sound good outputting amp sims at medium volume. I wouldn’t want to push them loud with amp sims and haven’t tried. They can be set flat, but they also have some neat dsp features like an included ARC calibration mic that will tune them exactly to your room and works great for near field home studio set ups. They also have buttons for extending the bass frequencies, which is good for handling the lows of guitar and bass sims. Anyway they’re relatively expensive for the pair.
The problem with using studio monitors to shred on guitar sims is if the monitor tweeter and/or woofer is too small it won’t reproduce the whole spectrum effectively, it will flap or rattle from getting overblown, won’t sound full enough, and you could even blow them out. So really with any small or medium sized studio monitors, medium volume at best for amp sims. However it’s nice having a pair for the stereo image out of your interface, and for stereo effects.
If you actually want to rock out with your amp sims at a loud volume, at home or on stage, you need what every gigging guitarist who uses a digital sim gets, and that is an frfr speaker (full range flat response). Basically they are high powered PA speakers, or quasi monitors, meant to reproduce exactly what is coming from your amp sim, without coloring it. FRFRs are meant to be used with guitar amp sims, but really they’re almost identical to PA speakers. There are really expensive frfr speakers, like the Mission Gemini 2x12 for $2,000, but that price point defeats the whole purpose. The best bang for your buck is the Headrush frfr-112 (I recommend it over the Headrush frfr-108, although the 108 is cheaper, smaller, and lighter. The 112 sounds better). It is essentially your 1x12 cab for your amp sim, and it’s definitely more than loud enough for home or for a gig. Because they are single speakers, many people will run a pair of Headrushes for the stereo image from the L/R interface outs, which also takes good advantage of guitar pedal sims that work in stereo, like certain delays, choruses, phasers, etc… but you don’t need two. One Headrush speaker has two inputs, so you can run both your L and R interface out into the same speaker. In addition, you can use these as sort of studio monitors if you want, better to have a pair in that scenario. They’re not ideal studio monitors but they’ll work.
