Hi everyone~
I'm on the edge of leaping into the digital amp domain, and have decided the Kemper is the best for me if I'm really going to do it. I've been using only tube amps for the last 20 years, so the idea of switching makes me nervous, naturally.
I'm currently running a stereo rack system with a Mesa, Brunetti, and Laney tube preamp, a couple Lexicon processors, brought together on an analog mixer into a Mesa 50/50 power amp, and two 1x12 cabs. It's a pretty killer setup for me, so I'm not complaining. But at this point, I play at home for my own enjoyment. There are a number of classic amp and preamp tones from the last 4 decades I'd like to achieve and it simply isn't feasible to purchase let alone store them and the different speaker cabs I'd need to really get "that" sound. My wife killing me is yet another consideration.
I'm someone who really tries to do their research, and I've gotten to the point of knowing my preferences pretty well, so I've narrowed down the profile makers I want to go with. I'm personally not interested in comparing 30 different free profiles of the same amp from the Rig Exchange to see which one is better. Others love that process though, and man, more power to you if you do. I'm just going to go with my ears and the ears of those I trust and start there. Top Jimi has some killer profiles, and I trust Michael Nielsen's ears (Big Hairy Profiles). I know M Britt has deservedly gotten much praise, but part of the reason for me going digital is to gain access to all the classic speakers and cabs as well. So profiling everything through a CL80 speaker is not really what I'm after, as good as they may sound. His 3rd Power CSR profile, though? I could be convinced 
There's also the change from speaker cabs to studio monitors. I considered FRFR, but their value is more geared to gigging musicians. I would consider mine a home studio location, and I could get a pair of nice Focal active monitors for the price of one nice powered FRFR. And staying stereo is a must. Man I'm picky 
I'm hoping this endeavor goes as well as I've imagined. See everyone around~
