While it's usually advertised as a bass cab it is used by many as a PA cab as well - or by those 1-man-band types who play an instrument / sing / backing tape in larger pubs.
Add the IR / Cab sim of your choice in the Stomp.
Bit spendy though!
Their Big Baby 3 is like a half sized version. Also very loud and flat.

Can't decide if I need studio monitors or PA speakers. I occasionally do stuff in Ableton (so basic that critical sound not necessary). More often I am playing backing tracks or a drum machine. And a bit of direct out from Boss me-90. All at home office volumes.
I am considering a headrush frfr-108 MK2 - although I know the MK1 overheated. Or, Yamaha DBR-10 quite pricey, or Pioneer DJ VM-7s look interesting.
I only gig on bass too. At home I most of the time use a pair of Yamaha HS7 monitors and I have been amazingly impressed with them for bass and guitar.
If you need more feel live then get an Eich Bassboard instead to go with your IEMs. EICH BassBoard L | EICH Amplification (eich-amps.com)

I was about to by a Helix and wanted some advice on the best cab or speaker for home use. At the time I was tempted to get a L6 Powercab as it offers good integration with the Helix.
Paul's advice was that for home use he recommend powered monitor speakers.
A few years later I am still using a Helix and a pair of Yamaha HS8s. I'm still just a learner and have no experience to compare it to a valve amp etc. but it's a great set up that provides excellent sounds and huge amounts of volume if required.
Not tried the Laney tho.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I went with the Laney purely because it gave me a better in the room feeling. Yes, they weigh more than other options. But it edges it for me over everything else.
I always assumed I'd get an FRFR cab. But monitors at home do seem like a sensible option.
Eventually I'll probably end up getting both. But in the mean time, choices, choices.
(I haven't even decided which modeller to get yet! )
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
