tell ya what, in the music shop i go to they had an svt4 pro (all tube preamp +beaslty 1200 w power section) plugged into the 8x10...ohh god it was like instant splooge. i played a warwick thumb 6 string throuhg it and i played all my primus material and it was like heaven. that amp was so versitile i loved it!!! right now i have an ampeg b2r and a swr workingman 4x10 (because i have very small income for this stuff) and the svt was so sexy sounding.
