A - 10 watt amp
B - 100 watt stack
C - 10 watt amp with $1000s of rack mounted equipment
For the best tone and sheer depth to your sound then you gota have a stack. And even a full stack where possible. Ive had every size of marshall going, and the full stack is simply awesome, even my pals $100 dollar guitar sounds half decent through it.
Yea in theory it would be better to have a 1watt amp driven harder than a 100watt one driven less but unless you have the rackmounted equipment to go with this hypothetical 1 watt amp then it aint gona work.
Its true though that most guitarists dont use say there marshall heads for example, they might use the rackmounted ones, or just use the clean channel of the amp and then get the distortion from rack equipment.
In that case thought the stack is the cheapest best option.
