Wondering people's thought on these. Both are about $400. Looking for a good rock sound all clean band not too loud. Have a nice mark bass rig 500 watts for bigger things. Want a nice tube bass sound. Only have a 410 that is 4ohms if that matters...so thoughts...comments...

Ampeg B25 or Sunn 200S

The Ampeg B25B has to have an 8 or 16 ohm cabinet, so that will be an issue if you only have a 4 ohm cabinet. Also, the B25B is not as loud and clean as you probably want. I've never played a Sunn 200S, but it may be a tad cleaner/louder. It also has a 4 ohm tap.
See if you can play a 50 Watt amp in person, because you may not be able to get enough clean power out of 50 Watts to match drums and guitar amps.

I have owned both. I simply love the 200S cabinet. The B25B was smother sounding. Both were loud enough for my applications at the time.
The 200S cab is smaller, and I would have a hard time deciding.

Well someone else bought the ampeg. So Im playing the Sunn again. This one only has 1 small tube, a 12ax7? and two large 6550's. Any idea of dates? How else could I tell?
