Hard Decision

I'm moving out of the country (that being the US), and can't bring all my gear as the cost is prohibitive and the space where I'm going is limited.

Here's what I expect and want when I make the move:
  • Gigging at church and small clubs
  • Play music and bass through either a combo or amp/cabinet combo
Here's the gear I have:
  • Genz Benz Shuttle Max 9.2 (can play music through computer)
  • GK 400RB (no music, but I like plenty)
  • GK 200MB (no music, but I like plenty, has very nice chorus)
  • GK MB150s (no music, but I like plenty)
  • GK 112MBX (extension speaker for 200mb and mb150s)
  • RevSound RS210 (super)
  • RevSound RS28 (super, but slightly less than RS210)
  • Glockenklang Space Deluxe (like a real lot, tweeter)
  • Roland Micro Cube Bass RX (can play music through computer)
At the moment, I'm thinking I'll bring the Shuttle Max, the GK 200MB, the Glockenklang and the Roland Micro Cube. Perhaps the GK 400RB if I can swing it.

I'm bummed about the RevSounds, as they are excellent, and light. I'm preferring the Glockenklang, however, because the tweeter makes music sound better (to me) and it sounds solid, solid.

I wish I could bring it all, but that's not practical.

I welcome all opinions on what to bring.

Thanks, gang!
 
Each of these amps may have different ways to conform to the new Country's Voltage.
Make sure it is done correctly.
Worse case, some may require a new power transformer to be used in a different country.

Some of the gear I took to Germany was only designed to work on US 120V, so I used a conversion transformer. However there is a another complication, 50hz will saturate the core of the transformer more than 60hz. To offset this, I went through my conversion transformers and selected one that provided only about 110V. The OEM said my amps should be fine with this voltage at 50hz. They would just make a little less power.
