So it looks confirmed that they are passive. I was hoping they might be active. Even still — I can't wait to hear one.
-
If they are using stages (as can be seen on the floor in the photos) how are they powering the cabs??

That's what I noticed. Says that there may be a powered one in the future which implies this is passive...
-
Just put the power section of the powerhead in the back of the cabinet, that would be perfect and logical

Yes. Passive for now, powered in the future...

Don't stack very well do they!
Look like mono in too? One imput, one out/through?

Can't make a single-speaker cab stereo. You'd just run two speaker cables like most any PA.
-
How can I order one ?
At what Price ?

No details are known yet. Some of the larger companies are expected to be able to order ( Thomann, Andertons...)

Yes that is correct.

... 600 W? :o This would definitely overspec the Kone!

Kabinet ~$450, Kone $165

I don't want to get into the whole "tube watts" vs "ss watts" thing but if the speaker is rated at 200w, it should be fine. Or buy the 16ohm version if it's that much of a concern

Well the price is acceptable, will more then likely be getting one, can’t wait to hear some demo’s.
-
The company that makes the power amp have many different options based on wattage. I'm sure the 600 watt isn't the only one available for this active cab.

How can it work with the stage???
-
Although I am quite thrilled about the new Cab and Kone, I think that the price tag of the Kone is a little steep. Considering that the base is a Celestion K12-200 (89 Euro), I am wondering about the differences.

Someone has already blown some cabs with the power KPA :p
Usually. you want to be extra careful in not putting something perspectively "dangerous" in the hands of the average user.
I am not aware of 1x12" guitar cabinets rated for 600 W. Single, clean notes may be risky, specially with a high-dynamic PU and instrument.
Also, we were talking about Kemper empowering a future version of the Kabinet, not about a user buying a Kone in order to assemble their own cab

Sure. Also, no need to choose the same brand. Class-D amps have gone far since 2010, with many new interesting technologies.

You need a power amp, with this specific version.
it seems a no-brainer to offer an active one soon, since the passive KPAs park outnumbers the actives' and they might want to give Stage users good reasons for buying a Kabinet as well w/o having to complicate their rigs.Although I am quite thrilled about the new Cab and Kone, I think that the price tag of the Kone is a little steep. Considering that the base is a Celestion K12-200 (89 Euro), I am wondering about the differences.
Well, reasons may be several. Celestion might be applying an overprice over custom versions sold by third-parties; also, the production lots are probably smaller, resulting in a higher price per-unit. Then, add Kemper's expenses (packaging, storage, customer care etc) and profit.
In terms of differences, Kabinet is designed to fully take advantage of the cone modelling offered in the next/new KAOS, plus it can sound linear (when properly driven by KPA's DSP) if you want to use a Studio profile.
Think of it as a GRFR able to be driven FRFR by the Profiler.
My comprehension is that the Celestion (H) is born as a flat cone, while the Kone (K) is milder in its response (it is driven to linearity by the KPA's DSP) and with a narrower diffusion pattern to get more of that "AITR" feel.

I found the Kone prototype from the Namm 2019 more beautiful. It could be stacked nicely. The handle on the top looks nice, but is totally impractical, so you can't put the KPA Head on the box
Are there any real news? Kone and Editor were already introduced last year at Namm.
