Big amps are sort of fading away. With today's PA systems you can get by with just about anything. I saw a band that used three DSL401's sitting on a slant stand. No need for 100 watt stacks.

I didn't think you were looking for an amp as big as the Super Twin.
No, I wasn't even looking for an amp at all. The guy has a booth in an indoor flea market and he always has cool stuff. I bought my (now ex) Hot Rod DeVille from him. He's had this Super Twin forever. At first it was $550 and of course he had a lot of people considering it and I should snag it before somebody else did. Now he's begging people to buy it at $350. I might be able to walk out with it for under $300. I might even have six 6L6GC's for it. It also needs a 6C10 Compactron.
