Trying to find a good power amp for my Studio Pre. Looking at Mesa 295's, Mesa 2:90's, Marshall EL34 50/50, Mesa 20/20, VHT 2-50-2. What have some of you used and what did you find, especially if you used more than one? I even may just run it into the return of my Stiletto but would like to have dedicated setup for it. Mainly playing at home so I guess a Strategy 500 is out :lol: . I know even the 20/20 would be too loud but I'm interested in "tone", not power level per se. If a 2:90 (for eg.) has the "tone" it's OK if it's too loud. I'd be playing as much classic rock on it as I would scooped EQ metal, so maybe one with 34's? I like the idea of the 295 with the run only in class A Option. I read the VHT 2-50-2 will do class A but didn't see a switch or button for that.
