@jimification - any recommendations on FRFR? And would the powered Kemper power a normal guitar cab?

I played my first gig with the Kemper a couple of weeks ago - given the DXR10's are my main PA, this wasn't an option for monitoring so I took the Two Rock to use as I'd initially tried at home. During the soundcheck, the other guitarist's Blues Junior had a valve fail - this threw up an unplanned experiment for the gig!
I gave the Two Rock to the other guitarist and hooked up the Kemper DI through the PA, with the monitor out feeding... wait for it.. a Fender Rumble bass amp! I went into the effects return and EQ'd the monitor out slightly (great feature) and it sounded awesome! The band and audience both commented on the sound and I was really impressed with the feel too.
This has given me the confidence to sell the Two Rock (was never going to be able to keep both unfortunately) and whilst the original plan was to use something like a Fender HRD for monitoring, I'm now seriously considering another DXR10 and other options - maybe even have another go with IEMs.
I'd be keen to try the powered Friedman cab too (although not keen on size) and would also like to hear a Fryette Power Station into a regular cab. Loving all this the new technology next job is to wean myself off my remaining pedals - still using KOT and EP Booster!
Am I right in saying you have the powered Kemper? So you could use a passive speaker? I'd love something really compact.

Given some of the gigs I do, i feel I'll need something to act as a backline. Small crappy PAs don't seem a match made in heaven, so would like something to control outward projection.
I've already listed my effects unit!

I have the unpowered white profiler head with remote and a DXR10. The DXR10 isn't large (compared to a decent sized amp anyway) it has a serious amount of power too. The only thing you need to think of, is where to put the Kemper (I used a little amp stand).

They would 'work' but why would you take £1500 worth or high end gear and shove it through some cheap nasty speakers? Personally, I'd go up-powered and use a DXR-10 or equivalent if I wanted to use FRFR
How would the DXR-10 work as a backline cab? I.e. used as a 'stack' behind me? Any suggested alternatives/other models? Thanks, @John_A

I also can't see much benefit in using a powered Kemper.
