[QUOTE="ctgblue, post: 98748, member: 2887"] I was thinking of going the preamp-amp route too (didn't) I was going to look at a solid state sound reinforcement amp for monitors. Since all the tone shaping comes from the preamps and I would have never pushed the power tubes enough (at house volumes) to get power amp breakup, I was looking at these because they are so clean and transparent. I was after a 100-200 watt mono amp. They are a little hard to find, but infinitely more affordable than most tube power amps. (much cheaper just to buy a powered head) Now if you are playing out, and doing really big shows, you might want a tube power amp. I've just done so many shows where I was mic'd and run through the board anyway, that I know my tone won't be hurt by an SS amp. [/QUOTE]
