I'm already looking for kits to setup one or two 12" 'Kones '
I fount this great one : 2x12 , angled, ply birch, enhanced dispersion , removable back plate on hinges ...
built in France , available for 229€ as a kit of 299€ fully mounted, looks like a killer deal.
I'm pretty excited by all these options , I'll also have to find a stereo amp for these , any advice ?
I plan on building a 2 x 12 with the Kemper / Celestion driver. It will be wired for stereo or mono. It will have 1/2 and 3/4 open back, as well as fully closed back. I might even build versions with 4 x 12 and 1 x 12. If I do that, I will get 4 speakers and mount each on removable baffles. That way I can reconfigure speaker complement based on the cab I need.
Of course, it does help that I own a cabinet shop.
I'm ready for hard core cab porn man, sent'em pics
if anyone has more specific questions
your welcome
sounds like we'll have fun ... Many thx for your review & experiments
My question : have tou tested the celestion cabs provided in the later updates , and do they differ as much as the real stuff on a single amp profile ( fender crunch for instance ) ?
Appreciate the profile references, I'll give them a look.
be sure to disengage any locks in FX , as these are delays presets.
I've got a few pads for free on RigEx , I often use them, you can add a harmonizer to have a chord / pad generator.
ATM.JB.PAD me organ
ATM.JB.PAD me shiny
ATM.JB.darkpad
I also use my freq out , ebow and freeze function to make some pads.
I let you know how it sound with the KPA.
I'm highly interested in the lack of "voicing" in these, let us know how different CABs will sound on a given amp profile ,as regular speakers tend to sound similar .
And yes , The ' reverse lock ' feature from ToastMe looks really fantastic, that would be great to have this feature too 
I would avoid MMB scroll on just hover without a selection/click first as a solution for three simple reasons.
I hear you on this ones , but an option menu with tick boxes to select editing mode in the editor options once for all ( simple hover or hover + click ) could satisfy everyone .
About imprecision , Shift + MMB combination should solve this issue by going to a much slower rotation and double click to edit values.
More than 400€ will really lessen interest in these cabs , at least to me , as the speaker itself will be sold as spare part around 170 from what I heard in the NAMM vids.
It's looks difficult to justify more than 400€ if you can build your own cab for 270€ using a palmer CAB, especially if I go for a stereo setup.
Apart from looks , R&D , and optimized CAB dimensions vs imprints & calibration what else could lead to a 500/600 € bill for these cabs ?
Once CAB dimensions & building material are known, we should see lots of third parties selling similar products with same specs.
I guess 170€ for the speaker( catalog price) and around 100€ for the CAB , that would lead to somewhat 250€
exemples :
So 250€ looks like a fair price, but that does not include R&D costs
BTW I have another request for the Editor interface :
I'd like to be able to assign front KPA knobs & buttons to other functions than their original ones ( with a 'restore defaults' in case we mess up )
For instance , I'd love to change the front 'presence' knob to 'definition' .
Mac mouses don’t have a middle wheel
That's why I hate Apple tech , no need for a mid button, no need for a jack on your phone ...
Too bad for Apple users , but that feature proved to be a great improvement in a tuning workflow on my DAW
Please implement it for Windows & Linux users & ask Steve Wozniak to find a workaround
+1 for no mouse contril of circular knobs.
I'd suggest using the middle wheel knob of mouses when 'hovering' on GUI buttons, no need to click , just pass the mouse icon over a GUI knob, scroll up or down ... done
I'm myself not in a need of a real CAB , as I love my HS7 and really got used playing in stereo & low volume.
However I'd love a little active Kab I could carry around on improvised gigs but also to mimic a combo at home , with unlimited possibilities.
Example : let's try to get the real deal blackface at home , and next week a very rare supro, that's would be awesome and definitely cure any amp gas.
I also fount myself much more inspired to play with a real amp in the room : basses , feedback , vibrations, loudness, waking the neighbors ...
@G String - I just want to know if there is hope to see the Kabinet in an Active version for us non-Powered Kemperits?
In the NAMM vids , looks like an active one is also in development , this is great for us
we're planning on a summer '19 release
Any chance to see the new preset management before ? That looks even more painful to use the current system 
This is freaky, how could they reverse eng. the firmware and emulate the DSP of the profiler ? You need both the software and hardware to emulate a KPA ??
Redesigning the profiling looks a lot simpler , but how could it handle KIPR files ? I'm really puzzled , maybe this is just a good bluff ?
If there is no Kemper licensing in this story , that looks like urgent time for Kemper team to make their own VST available ASAP.
Johnathanthomas83 was being cheeky.
I hope so , but a smiley would have helped cross cultural misunderstanding
I see the whole cabinet solution as a way to apply profiling to guitar speakers and reproduce them on a reference hardware , that's a very classy method to me. The combinations and potential uses are really impressive.
The open approach , letting you buy and build your own cabs is really great , opening the gate to other third party solutions also, this is a very generous & intelligent vision.
Spring reverb before the amp...horrible! I hate this editor already!
CK designed the reverb like the real 63 fender reverb tank ... pre amp
How can you hate something not available and not yet finished ?
Seriously , that's lot of stuff coming this year , lots of R&D and this is an example of how every company should take care of it's customers , even if it's very slow, it's still a small company, not mercedes benz 
I'm impatient trying the new preset selection for instance , but I'm not complaining , I'm playing & recording in the meanwhile and my tone keeps getting better thanks to the new reverbs
