I have a similiar Carvin setup with 10" speakers and small 500 watt mixer. I've used it out and I just put the speakers a little to the side of me. Just enough so I can still hear the highs. Also with the speaker up on a stand its over my head as I sit when I play .
I got these great JBL 515xts but they're so powerful even turned down to half they really throw the sound out and you have to be at least 20 feet away to get the full sound. Sort of like the bloom effect of the SS. I'll keep them and use one for a sub if needed with the Stagepass. I like having all my controls near me too.
