Hey Everyone,
I'm considering getting a Kemper Kabinet, but it'd have to be powered since I use a Stage. Any experience on the Kabinet vs something like a Line 6 powercab?
Thanks!

Those two units (the only ones to my knowledge today) are able to bring "amp in the room" and this is really their benefit.
I had the L6 familly before (Variax, Helix LT & Powercab+).
The design is different cause the "amp in the room" is linked to the unit for the L6, i mean, the Powercab itself simulates it. You choose a blue alnico speaker and there you have it. The advantage is that you can have any modeler/profiler, you just have to disable the speaker simulation and use the Powercab's one.
The drawback is that if you have many presets/rigs with different speakers, you have to program every midi changing (except if you own a L6 device with L6 link).
The Kone/Kabinet is "passive", all the data/parameters are send by the Profiler.
It's easier to program, you just have to change the "imprint" in speaker's block.
The problem is that it should not bring good/best results with other devices....
I remember that the Powercab+ was an improvement for my Helix but was not so marvelous for my Kemper Stage.
IMO, if you only have Kemper devices, go for a Kone/Kabinet. I had done my own powerkabinet just buying a Kone, a closed cabinet and a BAM 200 ;), cheaper
And : It has be designed to work all together
If you have other modelers/profilers, hard to answer... Imo, the Powercab is not the best solution neither...
if you want to use the Imprints, go with the Kemper, if you're going FR, the Fender FR-12 is the best out there, IMO
Does the fender not bring a kind of "amp sound like" even if you use mic'd simulations ?

In my opinion yes, definitely. No idea why, but it does feel much like an amp, not like a PA speaker.
im using the fender for two weeks now and i defiantly recommend it.it has great "amp in a room" sound imo and i'm having a blast with it.
