I love the old beast it's got even more clean beans than a Marshall Major! which is also an ultra linear design, great LF , I swear that with the Eden 8x10 it's quite a lot louder clean than my old blue line SVT with its old CTS driver'd 8 x10....and that was fecking loud.
Red Plexiglass by the acre chaps!

Cunning chaps! leading the way by using the same material used for spitfire wind screens for the front panel what! Jolly good show!

That's always the hard part.

There is a very flexible option if price is no object. You could run each of the heads into their own dedicated load boxes, and then feed line level outs from there into a line mixer. The output of the line mixer would need to go to a dedicated power amp, and then into the cabinet.

Aside from being expensive there are some specific benefits you can't get any other way.

First, even with a solid state power amp, you'd be getting all the goodness of the tube power stages in your amps. Second is that you'd abstract the actual volume of any single amp from it's optimal volume for tone. In other words, you could crank an amp to get the sound you want, but then reduce it in he mix to whatever level fits best with the other amps. This applies to overall volume as well so that even with all the amps at "11" the line mixer could be at 2. Loud tones at quiet volumes. Finally, with a decent line mixer you could send your rig mix or an alternate mix to the FOH whenever you are using PA support for the bass.

Dry side is my GK or old tube head and whatever cabs config makes sense for the night. The wet side is my beer sitting on the nearest flat solid non-vibrating surface, though I am going to upgrade the wet side to a 'swirly-gig'.

Flame suit on, check :-)
