I recently picked up a Celestion F12-X200 speaker and I am very impressed with it. Some profiles sound better then others but it's certainly a great match with the Kemper. I have the power head and I am able to keep the CAB on feature. The "Kemper Kone" with imprint Cabs also sounds very good.

Kemper Kone is custom made and optimized for application with PROFILER. The sound optimization that the PROFILER does for Kemper Kone doesn't exactly match the specs of the F12-X200. There is also no price advantage.

So I should have purchased the Kone?

Don't fret. Use the EQ to get good tone out of it.
I can't say how much better the Kone is over the FX because my Kabinet is on B.O.

Do you own the FX speaker to compare when you get the Kabinet? To be honest I do very little tweaking to the FX.

No. I was considering getting one but the users on here say it will color the kemper sound, and probably enough that it would not work best for my situation. But, If I have to wait 6 months for the Kabinet, then I might get one.

That's what steered me to the FX200 myself, I didnt want to wait for the Kone. Plus I had some amazon credit to use. I would love to see a side by side of the Kone vs FX200. Nothing on youtube yet as far as I know.

While the FX may behave differently than the Kone, just EQ it to your liking. If you play in a mix, your tone will get EQ'd anyway.

The Celestion K12H models are closer to the Kone, spec-wise. I am considering buying one and either swapping it in my Vintage 30 single cab or making a cab.

Well...I have to say after messing around with this F12-200X speaker for a couple days now with my powered head, I really cant imagine the Kone speaker being any better because this F12 speaker sounds EXCELLENT in my opinion. Huge sound, cab in the room, full lush tone and loud. When I dial in any profile I dont care for, I simply change the CAB or IR to something I prefer and it brings the profile to life. I have never been a huge fan of MBritt's Marshall profiles until now because I am able to change the CAB/IR to something I prefer. Which is the great thing about a FRFR speakers, more options. The Kemper power head still sounds great using a real guitar cabinet but it does take more tweaking then the F12-200X speaker. I will stick with the F12-200X because it sounds excellent and I like the CAB/IR options.

I would have gotten the Kone but they dont seem to be available and I didnt want to wait. Plus I had some amazon credit to use and the F12 was available. Maybe I will pick up a Kone soon and compare, but again I cant see it being any better then the F12.
-
i got both, the Kone is def better, sold the F12 immediately

unless it's all just a fake (and I'm sure it isn't) the Kone has been developer by Kemper and Celestion so.. let's say it'a a F12-X200 FINE TUNED for Kemper.
Anyhow it is Not the Same Kone Just rebranded. They didn't just attacked a different sticker on the back of a F12.
Of course they could be considered the same kind of Kone generally speaking and for sure comparable eachother (than, You know, tastes are tastes)

Did you buy the K12 speaker only and put it into a cab or did you buy the Kabinet?

I just purchased a Kone speaker and will put it into the 1x12 Mesa Cabinet that I have the F12 installed. I shall compare.
