What would you say to be the best monitor/speaker for the Kemper?

    I'll be going through the FOH, but I really like to have some stage volume. So I'm eying up that Laney active 212.
    It's also a nice height for the toaster to sit on.


    Any other suggestions would be so greatly appreciated, cheers :)!

    Well there’s always the Kemper Kab which I like, but yeah the Laney LFR 212 looks like a beast, never tried one, maybe overkill for many?

    I've tried many different monitor configurations for stage sound. Including a handful of guitar cabs, Kab, and PA monitors. I consider a good PA monitor to be the best solution. It offers the most consistency, as far as reproducing the sound, between the stage sound and FOH. I want the guitar sound I hear on stage to be exactly what the audience hears. At least as much as possible.


    I should mention that I don't believe in the 'in the room' concept.

    Personally, I'm a huge fan of both my Mission Engineering GM-Io (link is only place I could find in stock w/description [I don't even have a manual for mine, plz post or DM yours!]) 450W FRFR and my recently acquired Laney LFR-212 800W FRFR active cabs. They both have great low-end reproduction without being flubby or blatty, and both do a great job of reproducing the sound of anything from a 1x12" Combo to a full stack pair of 4x12"s. They even do a really passable job of giving the actual 'amp-in-the-room' feel without the fake tininess of looseness sometimes encountered in "FRFR" cabs. I can put that pair (or the LFR, alone, for that matter) up against my TSL 100 full stack or a full live band and it holds its own without any issue! If I ever get a decent mic, I'll post an A/B comparison…

    "Without music, life would be a mistake.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

    Both lines truly worthy of the 'Enlightened' status! ;)

    Edit:
    Apropos of nothing else, "Beyond Good and Evil" was, all three times, the longest, most laborious (but also worthwhile) read of any book in my life. "IT", "War & Peace", et al. were no match, despite the disparate word counts! I also realized in the first 5 pages that , even with a couple years of his native German, I didn't have anywhere near the kind of multiple foreign language fluency to get by without looking many, many things up…
