Amp suggestions to replace one that is just not cutting it.

[themacinator]

So here is the deal...I am looking to replace the amp in the rack of my practice rig. I have a Korg DT-2 into a Tech 21 SansAmp into this ---> this

The Samick came with the rack over a year ago and it is just time to make a change. Here is a shot of it sitting on top my Squareback 810 before I put the Korg in it.



I'd like to have an AMP that I can plug in via XLR and if it could bi-amp that would rock since I could run two different cabs if I wanted.

So I am open to all suggestions. I'd like to get at least 600 to 1000 watts at 4 ohms.

dude, with that squareback, you know there's only one amp you should get for it... don't even pretend to front you're never going to get 600w into an old ampeg 810 anyway (250w power handling, although i think it's closer to 400), so just slap an svt up there and rock that cab like god intended.

basically what Jimmy said. It is a travesty to use anything but and SVT on one of those. Though a V4b will do in a pinch.
If you are dead set on a power amp I'd look at QSC, and Crown. Offbrand power amps arent worth how little you save in my experience. Though any power amp you buy these days will far overpower that cabinet. So you will either have to be careful with levels, or just go out and buy a new cab.

I apologize. I should have been clearer. The 810 in the pic is not paired up with the amp I am looking to replace. I have a V4-B that I use for gigs with that amp. See pick below.



This is for my practice rig. Yes we play loud at practice.

that's more like it! i rocked a 73 v4b/810 for years. great rig...wish i still had it.

well i'm so not up on high power rigs these days, so i should bow out, but there are literally hundreds of options.
