You got to play out again, Larry.
He is starting to do that 
To richpjr :
The DXR10 doesn't have a narrow sweet spot if you place it vertically. But, a pair of studio monitors will have a wider sound (and can be in stereo).
Would a DXR8/10/12 be too much for a bedroom

I'm now playing in church every week, so that counts for a little. Other than that, I'm looking for people to work with, but this is a pretty rural location! -
Yes I've got that.
Does the church band get loud once in a while? -
Rockin' in church? LOL. No, at least not yet.
-
Am i the only one using a regular home stereo? Im totally satisfied with the sound.

A decent home stereo system should be fine for a small room IMO.

Certainly not!
A stereo is for playing back recordings. A KPA is made for recording. Sounds like a decent match to me. For practise it is just fine. I would however hesitate to tweak my performance rigs while listening through a consumer-grade stereo system. Many home stereos have nasty holes in their frequency response . A alternative solution to this is to use a pair of relatively inexpensive but flat-response active studio-monitors as your stereo speakers. -
The only issue about home stereo systems is that many of them can't flawlessly manage high-dynamic sounds such as a clean with a great punch at high volumes, unlike a PA cab.

LOL! I guess I was thinking James Brown with a band and gospel choir.

is it possible to use the speakers from a Ymaha THR to amplify the kemper?

Doesn't the THR have a line in normally used for playing along with mp3?
If so, the general answer should be: yes. -
I'd vote for monitors instead of the DXR for home playing.
1) They'll be stereo (not that you can't do that with the DXR10/12, but it costs more
2) They have a small footprint
3) A good pair will sound flat, giving you results that rival a CLR.
4) They can get decently loud in a pinch. It's not jam band volume, but it's not like you won't be audible either, especially with more powerful active monitors.
5) You can use them for recording at home too, definitely more versatile than the DXRs and will be much more useful in a monitoring situation
6) Better results when tweaking to go to FOH, in case you go live. The DXRs have a tendency to be woofy and you have to dial it out. Almost set and forget, but they aren't as flat as a studio monitor, from what I gather. -

A good set of arguments.
True, but you really have to experience each on your own to be sure. Like I said earlier, I liked the "bigger" sound of my RCF's a bit more than the smaller sound of the JBL monitors ... -
... the eternal debate between what we like best Vs. what sounds more linear
-
For home use, I have the monitors behind me and a CLR in front.
That puts me in the dead smack in the center of a Triad of Awesomeness
