I think this will be my next upgrade once I can get rid of my Peavey Max 450 + Avatar 4x10 Neo combo...

I have an Ampeg 8x10 cab, now I just want a head or preamp + power amp that will be able to push it. I'm also kind of equal on the whole tone vs. loudness thing live. I want both to be strong.

Been looking at either just getting an SVT-4 Pro or...
A Sansamp RBI (that would benefit in the studio as well) and a power amp. Any suggestions on which would be better in the long run and what power amp would be a good choice?

Thanks!
