Been trying amps out...

Ok, so I've been looking for new amps as I said in an earlier post.
...

The customer service was great at the store I went to and they recommended the Hartke 410xl with a 500W head(I forget the name...but it was Hartke brand). Really, I wanted to be blown away by it, I really did...but it just wasn't LOUD. I had the settings as high as they could go without causing the LED to go red and I just wasn't "rocked". The tone was absolutely great, and the EQ they had on it was awesome but there just wasn't enough volume. Anybody else feel the same way about Hartke? I'm probably just going to order a Carvin 810 stack honestly...the price is pretty unbeatable.
