How does it work. To me it seems like it separates lows and highs and shifts them apart. Is it some sort of comb filter?

Typically a "Stereo Widener" simply inverts the phase of one channel (Left or Right)
It's the "Awesome" switch for your Kemper.
Strange....I can't hear a difference with one FRFR powered monitor

Well - that confirms the KPA "Stereo Widener" is NOT simply inverting the phase of one channel (Left or Right)
From the manual:
QuoteNot an equalizer in the traditional sense, but it does use equalisation to work its magic. By emphasizing certain frequencies on one stereo side, while attenuating them on the other, it creates a subtle stereo ef- fect. This is done symmetrically, so that when the signal is summed to mono, the effect is completely can- celed out with no coloration to the sound.
It sounds like a pair of matched EQ stages which sum to 1. Imagine separate graphic EQs for left and right where the boosts in on channel are perfectly matched with a cut in the other so the sum is unity gain.
It makes sound 3D.
I've just gotta get mine running in stereo ...
Once you add just a touch of reverb, it's difficult to notice a big difference with the widener on/off.
