Expensive sure, but really ‘opens’ up the Kemoer
If i had the money, sure i'd give it a go.

The VoiceLive is just sitting on top of the Kemper Rack for now but you may just be able to see that the upper tier supports do extend above the Kemper - so the VoiceLive will not slip off the back. It's just a bit awkward due to the spacing of the mic input and power supply on the back.
The Alto is tilted up in the picture, as if I was using it as a floor monitor. At the last gig I had the rig behind me, as a backline, as I was using in ear monitors. I tilted the Alto down slightly.
The downside is that, due to the weight / depth of the Alto, it is fairly easy to tip the whole rig forward.
The Kemper floor controller is expensive - but it is perfect for the job and built like a tank. I did try using my old Behringer FCB1010 with an Uno4kemper chip before I got it.

My production partner and I have a Kemper profile pack coming out next year too. Diezel D-Moll, Hagen, VH4. Orange Rockerverb and Thunderverb. EVH5150III 50-watter. Two cabs for each amp, multiple microphones. I think we've got something like 150 profiles. Just trying to figure out the best way to split it all up. But they sound fantastic!

It's a very tricky question to answer. I think I could be happy using the Kemper at home for pure amp tones, given I now have a range of profiles that are up to my standards.
Using one live? I'm not sure. Every time I've tried, I have missed the feel of a valve poweramp. And once you account for having a valve poweramp in the setup, you may as well just use the full amp in question I reckon.
The truth is; I love music tech. I have very few allegiances though and I will use whatever it takes to get the sounds I want, in whatever context.

I just stick with the ones I've already got (mostly the TopJimi Caswell JCM800 ones). New Year's resolution - no more profile packs!
I've recently ditched my backline of 2 DXR10s and am now running the Kemper directly through our PA (via a Mackie DL806 digital mixer / PA).
I have noticed that the sound is quite a lot different to the sound I'm getting via the headphones out on the Kemper, and know that - obviously - the speakers have a different response and curve compared to the headphones.However - can anyone suggest a way to EQ the PA so that it more closely matches what I hear in the headphones? The desk has an RTA that shows the frequencies etc. being used by the Kemper inputs on the desk, and I can of course apply an EQ to the inputs - but I'm not sure how to go about working out what to boost / cut to match the headphones.
Any advice would be appreciated!
You really need to do this at some volume with some decent monitors. If you can only do it through headphones a general rule of thumb is to dial it a lot duller with more mid range and less bass than you think so it accounts for the Fletcher-Munson curve.
