Removing FOH assistance from the equation here....

Also, placement of the cabinets can be even more advantageous than the consideration of casters (on or off). As one example: Placing a 2x10 over a 2x12 into a corner can add another +6db as a result of the corner adding to the projection and/or accentuating the lower frequencies.

There are many, many variables here that can impact your sound (good or bad) and I realize placement is usually not an option, however, I'd suggest experimenting with placement and see what works for you.
