Thank you all, guys.
When I got my first big cabinet, it didn't fit in my car, LOL

I'm really happy with these lunchboxes. I think they sounds good and not so heavy to carry on. Yeah, they does NOT sound like those big 100W, but for sure they're not supposed to.
Today my biggest amp is a Friedman Smallbox 50W, and that's my limit for size and weight...

[chrisplaysmusic]

Nicely done. Thumbs up.

[Phantasmagoria]

Sounds great....some of my fave amps are lunchboxes. Can't say I don't like cranking my 100W amps ..but I do it way less often these days (new PIA neighbours). ...sick of having the cops land up all day (& night) long.

Those are cool little amps. I like the Plexi version myself. These days, the big 100 watters are simply not necessary with today's sound reinforcement systems. Sure, they are fun to play through and I've had a 100 watt Marshall, a Peavey 5150 and played through JCM 800's and older Marshalls. There is nothing like playing through a full stack wide open. I felt my pant legs move....LOL. BUT, I don't have a need for an amp with that much power anymore, and my back appreciates that I have a 25 pound 1x10 30-watt combo that can keep up with a very loud drummer with ease. I've been told to turn down several times. If I was to get another amp setup in the lower wattage range, I would be taking a serious look at these Marshalls.

Next time, (if there is a next time) I'll buy a bigger amp! .

If there isn't a next time, you may not be in the right place here. I know I've had at least three last amp purchases.

[Erlend_G]

20w is plenty for damn near everything i play, some sound guys give me a hard time if i crank it up. doesnt mean having a big four bottle amp isnt fun

As I might have said before-

I was shocked that my 20watt 1x12" Blackstar EL84 combo, wasn't louder than it is, cranked! :o

It has none of that "ear-piercing" treble, neither any mids that really stand out...

:/

Next time, (if there is a next time) I'll buy a bigger amp! .

Thank you all for the feedback.
In fact I can't play a 100W as it was supposed to be (loud) in my apartment. I wish I could, but no... And if I insist, I can get an administrative fine here. But for sure I will not move to a new place because of that. I love to play but it's not my main thing.

Your playing is good, just kidding around with you. Unfortunately most of the world doesn't like LOUD guitar anymore. The people next door were a young couple {30's} & didn't even listen to music which to me is weird.

I've owned several different 100 watt tube and solid state amps 1/2 and full stacks over the past couple + decades and down sized to a nice 20 watt tube amp and 2 1x12 cabs over a year ago and have absolutely no desire to turn back. I'm not missing a thing at all. My last 4x12 is living in the closet until the covid goes away and I can get rid of it.
