Amp choices/experience for Berg HDN212

I’ve chosen a Bergantino HDN212 for my larger (not a bar) venues playing in a classic rock/funk band. There is no FoH support so “on stage” clarity is needed as well as thump out front. Its all electric bass (no upright) - think Cool & The Gang followed by Blob Segar and Keith Urban.

What amplifiers are “you” using with these cabinets? I have a Mesa 800, a TFunk 440, a QSC 1800 with various preamps, and a Traynor Mark Ii .. of course I’ll try them all, but would be open to selling to fund a better pairing.

Just curious what HDN212 users have found works best for them.
 
I've played the HDN212 and own the CN212. Any of the Mesa SW heads should get you what you;re looking for IME.

I would also say you have more than enough very nice and highly capable options in your current amp choices. I would be surprised if you'll need to look elsewhere, your cab with that amp inventory could build a dream rig for many of us.
