It's gonna be real hard to beat the 4 ohm Avatar SB-112 Neo powered by the Ashdown Mag 300. Combined rig available from Avatar for $550 delivered. That a lot of capability.

Is one speaker enough for you? I would go with the Avatar 2x12 (4 ohm) so you can push more air if you need it (like on stage). You can always turn down but you can't exceed the limits of 1 speaker. That head pumps outs 307 watts at 4 ohms, eh? That's plenty of power for most situations but if your cab is already 4 ohms, you can't add another cab. :thu:

I'm getting my friends' son set up with a Peavey Max700 and a DrBass 2x10(4 ohm). It's certainly more expensive than the Avatar rig, but I'm trying to help out a local vendor. The Max will run 2 ohm easily for when he's ready to add a matching DrBass cab. In the meantime, it will should still be plenty loud. It also sounds pretty decent with the kind of simple/elegant interface I prefer. He'll never outgrow this rig. :thu:

Agreed - also you can get another 275 watts for about +$200 if you go with the Mag 600. That is also a very nice deal....
