Kemper Kabinet, or Powered Kabinet
+1 for unpowered Kabinet as you have a powered profiler.
I've been using one since they were launched and love it. Its very light and small, extremely manageable. The only negative for me is is that its so small that I can't balance my rack on top, unlike a bigger cab.
Important to note - it will sound different ( as with any other monitor solution) so you will probably need to tweak for sounds.
Another vote for the Kabinet.
Love mine.
Amazing that someone buys a Kemper then looks for a cab other than the Kabinet. It's like buying an Armani suit without the pants.
Kabinet. I got two.

Not really. If you don't know, you don't know so you ask and don't expect to take crap for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This makes zero sense.
So it's ok to send a line to FOH (frfr) but your on stage monitor absolutely MUST be a Kabinet?

To be fair, hes had his KPA for sometime...
No, the Kabinet is not a must but something with a Kone inside ! 😉😁
I have a powered Kemper and have used guitar cabs and PA type monitors for the stage. I have come to prefer the monitors so that I can leave the Kemper cab switched on. To me, this allows me to hear a closer version of what is coming out of the PA quality wise. I dislike tweaking for the Kemper cab/PA AND some other cab(guitar cab for instance). It is always a compromise in that situation. Doesn't the Kabinet(Kone) present a similar problem?
I've been running my powered Kemper into a Friedman 1x12 closed back with a cream back. Sounds awesome for how I'm using it. I would love to check out the Kemper cab. Just have to find one close by...

It was pun. You guys need to lighten up and loosen up your pants. But it usually makes sense to buy a matching set since it is more likely they are designed to be used together. So, if you own a Profiler then it makes sense to pair it with a Kabinet. There's no crap in that. The OP is considering a cab. The Kabinet makes the most sense.
I have a homemade Kabinet , with a 200w Icepower amp , that can be switched to use with power or without. Made identical to the Kemper Kabinet. Only thing wrong is the Logo is a little blurry,
if you’re in the US , I’ll sell it for $500+ shipping
Question for anyone who is running the powered Kemper into both regular cabs and FRFR powered monitors.... Has anyone developed a preference in terms of overall sound quality of the rig? One thing I've noticed is I definitely prefer the sound of the Kemper powered without the cab block on into a standard unpowered cab. Alternatively I'll run it unpowered into a Friedman ASC-12 using the stock cab the the rig was profiled with. I used it for the first time this past weekend running into Pro tools and back though some really nice monitors and I will say the sound was incredible.
Sorry to derail this one... Figured while we we're kind of on the topic I'd throw it out there.
As I mentioned, I prefer to use a PA type monitor connected to the KPA rather than a guitar cab for stage use. I sometimes use a passive monitor with Kemper power or a powered monitor system. It depends what is available. Either way, it doesn't matter to me as long as the system is high quality. BTW, many lower quality monitors sound boxy and don't reproduce the Kemper well. This is mainly due to the differences of the internal cab sim and the actual response of the guitar cab. These differing responses lead to tweaks that are never optimum for both in my experience. BTW, I don't think the Friedman ASC-12 or any other FRFR type speaker offers significant advantages over a well-designed PA type speaker or monitor.

All I'm saying is that there was a better way to say that to someone asking for help.
It's not fun (pun?) if people don't get the joke.

Why does the Kabinet make the most sense?

That have been my first choice when I've got my Stage, but it was too trebly for me (and it had something wrong with the Kone, I believe, like a broken driver) and so I went with an old Matrix Q12a that was awesome 'till a short grilled the power amp. Now I'm also looking for something else (have a couple of gigs upcoming on larger stages), Laney LFR 212 is quite high on my list...
