Rob, any thoughts on acoustic dampening fillers in your speaker cabinets?
You mean “damping.”
This is the relevant page from the fEARful site.
My personal take is that I want my equipment to best represent my playing, within the limits of my budget, and a 12″ fEARful and a power amp is not much more expensive than the powered PA speakers mentioned here. The modularity of that solution will reduce the cost of equipment failure.

This may answer why the custom cab I had built for me years back by a different builder was a bit brittle sounding on my Grand. Same Eminence 10" speaker, 6" and an adjustable tweeter. On my bass and NS, it worked fine, but not so well with the melody side of my Stick. Not sure there was much in the way of foam described on the GB site, but the description they give of what it would sound like without the foam is spot on with what I experienced. Thanks for sharing.
The Epiphani amps Steve Adelson has me intrigued as well, custom built speaker. But for now I'm staying with the PA to focus on playing, as I have a new guitar on the way coming at the end of the year. With everything dialed in good, no need for me to experiment with more amps. Like Olivier pointed out with his need, I went the PA route based on a live performance that went really well sound wise, I'd rather focus on playing now.
I'd like to see one of those GB's as well. Noticed there's a guy here in Michigan with a side-business building these about 1.5 hours from my house near Fort Custer RA where I sometimes go riding at. Looks like he performs as well, I'll have to watch his FB page and catch one of his shows or swap meets.
