I'm looking to get a 1x12 speaker cab made, for smaller gigs with my powered Kemper. Would be grateful for any ideas re: Speakers. Vintage 30, greenback, Creamback, EV? I don't want a full range speaker but would like something that gives a good balance of lows, mods and highs. Thanks.

Hi, it depends on your taste. I use a 2x12 mesa boogie slant with celestion v30. Very good for rock sounds but not the best choice for heavy metal. If you have the chance to test different cabs at a dealer it would be the best way to decide.
I also play a frfr from rcf nx 10 sma. Also a great solution.
Cheers

Firstly, WELCOME!!!!If you can get hold of a TubeThomsen cab you´ve got a winner. 2 X 12" Greenbacks into 8 Ohms (I think).
I also have a Matrix FR212 (FRFR) cabinet giving 300 Watt RMS into 16 Ohms. Sounds very original to every real Head/Cab combination I´ve tried. You don´t have to wind it up but it is relatively easily driven. Why don't you want FRFR?

If you use both Combo and stack type Rigs, I suggest a FRFR cab, so you can maintain both open back and closed back cabinet tones

Sometimes I use a Mesa Thiele. But most of the time I use IEM or DXR-10s

Good point. -
If your looking for a cheap and really good solution I recommend you buy Celestion G12T100 w Hot. and Palmer 1x12 unloaded. Plays really loud with flat enough EQ. /Hans J

Would this be any good for the KPA?

If I would need and would live in U.S. or Marshall Island or Palau I would buy -
Just to reiterate. I am after a conventional speaker, not FRFR. I am only after a 1x12 for the sake of portability. It is a powered Kemper so not looking for an amp. I do have a pair of RCF NX12 SMA speakers that I use for gigging already. Just looking for a comparison of conventional guitar speakers!
