I've decided to try out my Trio preamp with my Holy Grail reverb at the next gig for a change of pace, and I am looking at power amps ...
ART makes one called the SLA-2 which seems to get great reviews, the specs are:
Toroidal transformer
200 watts per channel @ 8 ohms
560 watts bridged mono @ 8 ohms
10 Hz -- 40 kHz within +/- .5 dB
Extremely low noise, discrete linear design
Hum and noise: > 100dB below clipping
Total harmonic distortion: > 0.05% (typical)
I'm thinking this should give me plenty of power, a very clean signal and tons of headroom for my two JBL E-120s. I'm after that crystal clear 1982 sort of tone, seems like Jerry got back in that direction in the last few years with the Trio, minus the super-trebly Bolt guitar tone, probably as a result of running it full range without a speaker simulator.
Any thoughts?
