What amp and cab?

Hi all

I'm going to be purchasing a new amp head and cab (most probably 4 x 10) in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking for some advice on which ones to look at and which ones to miss.

I'm planning to spend £600 - £800 and will be playing mainly indie/brit pop sort of music, and looking for a nice clean sound.

I know the best thing to do is to go to a shop and try a load of different amps, but the music shops aren't great in South Wales unfortunately and there's not a lot of choice in the ones near me, so will be purchasing off the internet.

I've looked at the Hartke HA series but heard the fan can be a bit of a problem on them, but quite like the look/sound of them after looking at some reviews on YouTube.

I'll welcome any advice and recommendations.

Thanks in advance.
