I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Traynor SB200H & SB500H compact amp heads. I had been using Markbass LM-250 heads and Markbass 2x10 & 1x12 HF cabs together, and they are brilliant, no doubt. But then I heard a Traynor SB200H demo, that was enough. I bought one. NOT disapppinted. On the ccontrary, I was so impressed I bought the bigger SB500H.
I live in the UK, so I had to buy the Traynor heads from the US as they have no UK distribution. That was costly but worth it. But I can't buy Traynor cabs in the UK and import costs on cabs are prohibitive. So, I use my Markbass cabs and they do an excellent job, punchy, respnsive clarity and plenty of low-end. They sound so much better (in my opinion) with the Traynor heads.
