I play exclusively at home and would like to know if a powered Kemper could be justified or should I get the non powered version. I have a Friedman BE 100 at home and I will not sell it, since I used to play in clubs and that was my go to amp then. What do you think, should I get the powered Kemper or the non powered version?

I say save the scratch and get the non powered KPA. If you want to play it through your cab you can always run it through the amp's loop for power.
 
Non powered version it will be then. Makes sense given my current situation.
 
I played the powered version over the weekend. Thru a cab and direct. It sounded great either way and it was alot of fun thru the monitors in stereo at the Nashville Amp Expo. With the powered version, you just don't need a poweramp is what it comes down to.
 
I have a pair of Adam Ax7 studio monitors, so I will use that with the Kemper.
 
That'll be really cool for the rotary and panning stuff.. they are worth the price.
 
Just sent a message to Brad asking him to get me one.

Literally exactly this... you already own a "power amp" if you want to mess around with the Kemper that way...
 
So are you going to go with the rack mount kemper or the lunchbox size one?
