But man, that DXR of mine (on clean settings granted for the moment) is as good a sounding speaker as Ive ever encountered. It is 'kin incredible.
I thought "man, this sounds a bit plastic, trebly, harsh" when I first plugged it in. Then, lowered the volume of the DXR, slightly (SLIGHTLY SLIGHTLY SLIGHTLY- quarter of a turn on ANY tweak of the Kemper) adjusted the vol and treble and mids of the Kemper.
Then, plugged in the REAL Rambler - man, that sounded harsh too !!
FUCK ME, IT'S MY EARS - NOT THE AMP !!!!
Then, had a break, and the Yammy suddenly was filling the room with incredible sounds...
Ill have a look at my settings and send post them here.
Ah, just remembered...and this is worth noting. IR's are captured using traditional studio methods, the mic is often very close (0.5 - 1" away from the speaker)...so you cannot possibly expect an IR to sound like what you hear when you're standing a few feet away from your regular cabinet that's on the floor and quite a distance away from your ear.
That's what IR's do, they only sound like what a microphone hears, not what you hear. So, to go some way toward making it feel more like an amp in a room (I hate that expression, move with the times, an amp in the room is a sound guys pain in the ass) is to (as has been mentioned) trim the low end and cut some highs. A microphone 'hears' everything with more bass and more treble when it's so close to the speaker. Trimming these parameters will also mimic what producers do at mixing stage, too. Treat it as a really good education in how to make music and how frequencies work.

Kemper
Profile: CARR Rambler Clean 4 (author is VaiSactchAtrucci)
Cabinet switched OFF
Browser mode
DXR10
Mono
XLR cable - Kemper to DXR
-10 DB on the level
MIC/LINE switched to 'LINE'
All switched to 'off'
Now, Rambler and Kemper are both going thru the Big Sky for Stereo comparison.
Rambler speaker is the Elsinore.
Do you are you going from jack to XLR, via the Kemper's Monitor output?
PS - do you stack the Kemper on top of the cab?
Thank you!

Is your conclusion about the Rambler and Kemper only relating to Big Sky or in General ?
if you (the ultimate Ramblin' Man ) can't tell the difference then I doubt anybody but Steve Carr will .
Cab on AND off works fine
It doesn't sound EXACTLY like the Rambler, but I reckon very few would notice the difference !!
The fact thats it so close is amazing enough.
Try it mate

And does anybody know how I can A/B the Yamaha against my cab?
