[font=trebuchet ms]Since your amp has transistor, not tube, output stage, you don't have the problem of needing to crank it to get it to sing. Get whatever cab(s) sound good, and if it's too loud, just turn it down.

The reason bands used two full stacks 'back in the day', is that there were no PA setups like the ones in use today. Each player had their own system, and the drummers had to rely on their own muscles in order to keep up! One amp was actually running, while the other was a backup. Nowadays, with mics on everything, and the kind of mixing desks that used to be found only in recording studios, there's no need for monster amps & stacks, or for drummers with baseball bat sticks.[/font]
