Tube stack for arena rock band!

Damn I need glasses, all this time I thought the subject was:
Tube steak for arena rock band!
I was gonna suggest rolling up a zucchini in silver foil ala Derek Smalls...

Oh yeah! My list definitely wasn't comprehensive, and I left off some of the more booteeky stuff that I didn't think would fit the bill that the OP is looking for.
I left out Orange on purpose, but I forgot about Marshall all together. I'm not sure what they make other than the Superbass and the Lemmy, which are both 100w I believe.
A pair of cranked Lemmy's going through four 4X12's would certainly accomplish what he wants!
Every time I open this thread I ask myself "why?" ... Lol....I would love 2 svt's and four nv610's behind me anywhere
They made the most excellent VBA400!

You also missed Peavey and their most excellent Classic 400!
Not to mention a few others, the Trace Elliot list was a bit short, the VA350, V4, V6 and V8!
those marshalls are sick, but tonewise i need more bloom. the fender's got it. im probably keeping these forever and dont mind modding the hell out of the transformers and tone caps and all the pot caps... little projects like that. (any suggestions electronic geeks? i need it to have a round, mega-fat feedback with tons of harmonics in the mids with a bass that makes waves of wind on stage, mega loud, i think you DO need a wall of speakers to do it 
like real 70s arena rock
like real 70s arena rockthe closest to what im asking about.. is how can you get the tone of those sunn walls with a new rig that IS available these days ?? that's not peavey

that's a positive attitude! i like that answer
Mesa Mpulse 600 or Walkabout, both have lots of bloom. IMO the Mpulse has more and will push anything you want really. A couple of Mpulse's on top of some 8x10s would be pretty awesome.
get the sound and feel of of the bass blowing up in your hands and wind on your jeans
That would work!
How do you know? You played a Classic 400 before?
My vote = A Monique or JGR preamp, a big pile of power amps, and a wall of 8 Greenboy Dually's.
That won't flap your pantlegs, it'll blow your pants clean off.
This is my rig.
If you have the chance, get two 400W heads and 8x 410s with fane speakers.
It'll blow your mind.

So after all that what did you decide ?
Which arena are you playing at and what number of ticket sales has the show got locked down ?
I reckon plenty of us here on t b would be keen to see and hear this feed back in action...
