Anyone have experience with Warwick WA 300 head?

I guess that's a no?

Seriously, nobody here owns or has evaluated a Warwick WA 300 (or a WA 600)?

They weren't that popular. They were considered very underpowered and not that reliable.

Warwick had some very good concepts and great, reliable amps with their x-treme and tubepath series!
But here in Germany a lot of people are scratching their heads why they discontinued them in favour of this rather basic designs.
I am playing a Warwick 6x10 for years and I love it. I also owned an X-treme 5.1, but sold it in for a tube amp. That gear is very solid and reliable.
But I do not know anyone that has tried the new warwick stuff, even here in Germany.
So talking about reliability: I think Warwick amps are as reliable as any other amp as long as you do not get a lemon.

I actually like Warwick's earlier amp and cab designs. The current ones just seem so basic in comparison. Can't help much about the new ones as they're not stocked here locally, but I did played Warwick's 3-way cabs and I think they're great.

Bass Player liked WA 600. Warwick Basses Amps & Rock'n Roll

The WA is replacing the older ProFet line; so not really pro level stuff. It's supposed to be a Hellborg offspring on the cheap, but I don't think that will happen, the same way a RockBass is not just a cheaper Warwick...

IMO Warwick made a lot of marketing mistakes lately (first the delay on the new RockBass line; now this - the WAs are nowhere to be seen, etc) and they've probably rushed into it without actually thinking too much.
