Amp Head Advice

Hey guys and gals...politically correct thread. lol I'm looking for some input for my rig. I have a trace elliot 1x15 300w 8ohm and a trace elliot 2x10 8 ohm with a tweeter 200w. I'm using a GP7SM 150 which of course doesn't have enough power to push the cabinets. I was looking at the eden WT405 but I'm a little hesitant because of the Chinese assembly. I can get it for $550. I'm open to any suggestions or advice on a new head. My main Bass is a Kubicki by the way, in case that matters. I play rock to metal buy the way also. Thanks!

I would never buy an Eden head. I just don't like their tone.

You have 2 good cabs that total a 4 ohm load. That leaves everything wide open for a head. It comes down to personal preference though, so your best bet is to go test drive as many bass amps as you can find, and make the call with your ears.

The Chinese assembly isn't always that bad. There are a lot of Americans and Canadians working over there these days. I say go for the Eden if you like it. I did. My Ampeg 810e was made in China and I think the quality is great on it. I went over it and couldn't find a flaw in it.
