Best Kemper Power Head monitor setup for small studio?

    Hello,
    I have a small studio (12'x13') and am currently running the Kemper Power Head into a 4x12 cab. via its speaker out. While the output from the cab is good, and perhaps overkill for the size of the studio, I suspect that I am not experiencing the full range of tonality from this setup. Thus, I wonder if I would not benefit from a good pair of powered, near field monitors, such as, for example, the Neumann KH120? Any thoughts in re this dilemma ... guitar cab vs monitors?


    I have reviewed the post below this one and have evaluated the monitor suggestions offered, however, they are too large for my application.


    I should mention, that in either case, the cab and or monitors are for auditioning/practice purposes only. Actual mixing would be done via a digital recording deck and then transferred to a separate DAW with its own speaker monitoring system.
    Thank you in advance.

    KH120s are great. Very flat and transparent down to 60Hz, so they'll be great for any critical listening of anything audio related.


    Edit : unless you're making EDM!

    If you want to hear all the nuances of different profiles, yes. A guitar cab has its own sonic signature that it will imprint on all profiles. However, if you aren't used to hearing and playing through a mic'ed cabinet, you might prefer the raw guitar cab approach. Try a pair in your local music store and take your Kemper with you is the best advice I can give.
