New Amp

Going to purchase a new amp, we play mainly rock music. Here's my 3 options:

1.) Gallien Krueger 700rb

2.) Ampeg SVT 7 pro

3.) Ashdown ABM 500 EVO III

Obviously I intend to get a 4x10 cab also.

Any suggestions on the above?

Three different "out of the box" sounding amps. The G-K is proven reliable and great sounding with great flexibility.

SVT 7's "seem" to have out grown the reliability troubles.

Don't have anything to offer you on the Ashdown.

I had one of the first run SVT-7's and never had any issues with it, ended up selling it to fund other projects...it is sorely missed

All very good amps at what they do. I'm an Ampeg dude and I like what their amps do, but they're good choices all.
