MF now carries ENGL amps.

So now that they do I was wondering (since I have heard some say this) does the powerball match better with the 5150 than the mesa rect?

Not really. Had a 6505+, Triple Rect and Powerball in the same studio for rhythms, and we opted for the Triple Rect + Powerball. When it comes to matching the 6505+, it seemed to pair better with the Rectifier, since the tone contrast is greater.

Personally i think not...... Our buddy band has 2 guitarist and they use 5150 and engl poweball. Its a good combo still but i just love mesa and Ive recorded the powerball and it was quite fizzy. I'm sure you could get around this fizz thing with quite a bit of tweaking cause that amp has like 100 knobs that all effect like 3 different things

I think the mesa 5150 is the proven combo though

Yeah, the 5150 and PB were an interesting match that sounded good, but the Mesa just does the blend so much better.
