A short update:
Currently working on adding a floor monitor/cab for each guitarist to hopefully help them better identify themselves in the mix. Concurrently, re-working our back-line to use detuned 1x12's and 2x12's loaded with EVM12S Pro-Lines. The two guys who provide the amps for the back-line were impressed with the detuned 2x12 (stock 4x12 with two speakers, in this case) loaded with EVM's, so that's encouraging. My focus right now is on fabricating a detuned 1x12 according to the plans in Kevin's DIY speaker book, as replacing a mono 4x12 with a mono detuned 1x12 is the most useful next step right now.
Kevin, in your experience does the third monitor cab on the floor in addition to the basic symmetric setup help guitarists hear themselves a bit better in the live mix compared to a symmetric setup without the floor cab? I'd guess it does since you now have a full 1/3rd of the output power pointed at your face, but I don't know enough to say for sure. Unintuitive things seem to start happening once you introduce multiple sound sources, e.g., the feeling of being "in" the sound.
