I've got my monitor attached to the wall with a vesa mount bracket.

So I ended up getting a cheap second hand Blackstar 2x12 that's loaded with Celestion 70/80 speakers. It was so cheap that I had to. My plan is still to go 1x12, but this was now and I like now.
Sounds really good to me so far, but haven't turned it up yet.

The mixer you linked me is actually 4 way mono input and 1 mono output, but I really like the idea. Except apparently every mixer out on amazon has insane degradation or faulty hardware so I don't know where to start. But I really like the idea of plugging the outs of my focusrite into a mixer.
No - that's a headphone amplifier. 1 stereo TRS in and 4 sets of stereo headphones out.
I confused you by adding the bit about the little mixer, which you don't need unless you're headphone jamming with others.
-
If that is a limitation, there may still be a way...
I use a cheap headphone preamp that I bet you could plug into the main outputs of your 2i2 and retain the stereo image.

Added bonus is that with a little mixer as well, you can have full on headphone jams any time of day and you each get your own volume control.

I'd take a pair of TS cables from the main out of your KPA.

I just did a quick internet surf and it seems like the lack of stereo headphone monitoring might be a thing with that device.
-
I'm assuming that there's a computer editor for that audio interface that provides a mixer of some sort. If you're not using a computer or recording then I'd just use the KPA headphone jack.
For example, with my little Presonus Mobile if I plug my KPA into 2 input channels and do nothing else they'll sound mono because they're both panned to center. I then have to go to the output mixer (on my recording PC) and pan them, which brings back the glorious stereo.

Have you got the L/R channels of the Kemper panned L/R in your Scarlet output?
-
If you've got a powered Kemper and you're heading into unknown and probably bad PA you might want to bring a guitar cab and leave the PA to the vocals.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks guys. I'll see if I can find a local place to try them out.

So there is no way to use the power head with out using power into the two powered HR112 speakers ? I thought if I got the powered head, I could do everything the non powered head would do, and then some. I can still change my order, but is that the way to go? No way to do stereo at all in my current configuration on order?
I didn't realise those speakers were powered. You're good to go with those. You'll take the main outputs into them as a stereo pair.
You're correct that the Power Head is exactly the non-powered version with a power amp added. If you're never going to drive a normal guitar cab I don't think the powered version is required. But... being able to drive a single, non-powered guitar cab on stage for monitoring, with the main outputs going to the PA (or your Headrush pair) is a common and satisfying way to use the KPA.

I've been using Celestion V30 speakers for the powered output of my Kemper when I just need the amp in a room sound for jamming or practice, but I've been wondering if there's a more appropriate option for me. My goal is to build/buy a 1x12 to replace the larger 2x12 (V30) that I've been using.
I could use some advice on what speaker to use. I realise it's pretty personal at the end of the day, but I'm hoping to get the best general speaker to suit the variety of amp profiles that I use. The V30s are what I know the best from my Bogner Shiva and when I use a Shiva profile it sounds just right to me. But the Fender profiles and some others sound a bit meh.
I play mostly clean to med gain, but with some "big lead" sounds, like Gilmour etc. Broadly in the Bogner, Fender, Vox, Dumble camps. I really need to be able to play snappy clean leads with lots of headroom, so I don't want something that breaks up too easily.
Thoughts?
-
I'd definitely recommend 2 powered FRFR speakers if you're keen to be stereo without a PA. Otherwise just one unpowered one is fine.
-
I really like the Dumble profiles from M Britt. They sound great and clean up amazingly with the guitar volume. There are also several very good Bogner Shiva (my fav amp) profiles on the rig exchange that are great for a fat blues sound.
-
I've played a bunch of Twins and the "thunder" is just the sheer power of them. Loud cleans with huge headroom and 2x12 speakers.
With humbuckers I'd recommend an EQ stomp in front of the Amp section to roll off a bit of bass.
-
If you're really new to guitar I'd first search the Rig Exchange for the guitarist or song you're trying to emulate. It's likely that someone has had a go already.
Also research how the player approached the instrument. Pick or fingers, light or heavy attack, vibrato, sliding into and out of notes, etc. This is a bigger thing than the amp tone IMO.

I had a few issues with the spring reverb teaser update, so I reverted to the previous production release for stability. Fair to say I'm really hanging out for the next release, because once you've tasted something great...
-
I use a Sennheiser e935 and it's easily the best dynamic vocal mic I've used. I also have an e835 as a second mic and it's great too.
I really dislike the SM58. I've sung through so many over the years and it always sounds like there's a blanket on the speakers.
-
I eventually decided that the best option for me was a pair of EV ZLX15P speakers with stands so I can use them for electric, acoustic, or bass, plus as an inexpensive smallish PA.
They sound really good to me, but not like top shelf PA gear. I'm very happy.
