A question that probably has been asked a thousand of times....

Hi everybody
Some days ago i got a nice second hand unpowered kemper and i am enjoying it with headphones or with my PC monitors.
In future i would like to create a complete rig around the kemper and would like to ask you of it is better to purchase a frfr speaker (Yamaha dxr10 for example) or purchase a power amp for the kemper (like the Ritter ones for example) and use it with my guitar cabs.
I know this question has been asked several Times but i would like to know your experiences.
Thanks

It's all about your personal preferences.
I'd encourage you to try FRFR first, the Yamaha DXR 10 is an excellent choice.
Only in case you cannot get accustomed to it use your cabs.

Thanks ingolf...
Is the Yamaha good for band rehersals? I mean volume is loud to keep on with a nervous drummer?

I've used a DXR10 live with several different drummers - it can get very loud.

Also, see:

Guitar cab or FRFR - and why?

I rarely turn my DXR 10 past 10:00, and my Kemper isn't maxed either.

Hi
What about the laney x frfr speaker? I found a deal with a good price but cannot try it ...
Is it better than yamaha dxr10? These are the two options for me now....
Thanks
