I am on the fence about which Kemper version to get. If I go with the powerhead would I be able to bypass using the built in power amp and use it like I would the non powered version?

Welcome to the forum.
Yes you can bypass the built in power amp and use it just like the non powered version. -
Welcome!
Also don't fortget there are 3rd party options available with a stereo poweramp.

Matrix is working on a stereo power amp for the KPA head. Whether it is going to be Class AB analog or Class D digital, I do not know? I'm hoping for Class AB.
I'm runing a TC 2290 into my KPA in stereo. All can say is... Well, I'm speechless!

You'll love it.
Whats amazing is when I hold a regular non powered head in one hand the the PowerHead in another, you can barely feel a weight difference.

MacFangus: hmmm, this is interesting... I did not know about this. Do you mean an amp that can be fitted in the back of KPA head?Any idea on when it should be released? -

for over a year now. Bruno here from this forum hinted at them quite a while ago. They actually should have been out even before the Camplifier line from kpa-solutions was fully developped and ready to hit the market.
I don't know what happened to push them back. -
I exchanged a few emails a month ago with matrix, saying I could wait until september/october for their camplifier-like product.
They didn't answer that point, but they pointed me to their other products. So I guess it's not for anytime soon. -

I emailed Matrix about the amp, they said the project has been shelved for the time being. The difficulties related to the Kemper back hole size changing with different models meaning they had to completely re-design their module. They said they have no time frame for returning to the project at present.
