Looking for an amp to power my 4 x 10

I have a pre-Fender SWR Goliath 4 x 10 cab and I'm looking for a new amp in the $500 - $1000 price range. I'm looking for something clear with a lot of lows and low mids with definition. I'm currently looking at a Mesa M6, SWR 550x, or SWR headlite (more for the parametric eq). I'd prefer something that has an all tube pre-amp as I really don't like that digital sound. What are all your guys' thoughts?

Also thinking about maybe getting a GK 1001rb as well. One of my friends has one and it works great for him, but I've never actually tried the amp out for myself yet.

Get a used Thunderfunk. Been playing mine for 4 years and havent even looked at any other amps.

I have a Fender TB1200 head that can handle loads up to 2 ohms. There is also a TB600 made by Fender and both are good heads.....
