I not really suggesting what brand of amp to purchase. I was showing an example of my setup. Instead of running out and buying 1 top of the line brand name amp just for the famous company logo, you can get 2 nice tube amps for the same price or lower.
Running in stereo, you will sound better and 2 smaller amps is easier to carry around to gigs. I use to drag around half stack cabinets and loading them from my house to the truck was pretty back breaking. Once I got to practice or a gig, I had help from the other guys, but once I got back home again, I had to carry them inside myself. It got really old after a while.
I went with smaller amps that had several pieces instead of a one big piece to try and wrap my arms around.
Back years ago it was Fender, Marshall, Peavey, Kustom, Vox, Randall, Ampeg, etc. Now there are so many amp choices and the prices are really decent for a nice sounding tube amp.
