Unless you're a very rich 17 year old, the Bogner is a HUGE investment.
At $3500 plus tax for the head alone, you'll be saving for awhile.
Used, they go for $2300, if you're lucky enough to grab one before someone else does. It's the end of the road for channel switching, great toned amps.
Diezels are in the same league, but you'll have to sell your dad's car to buy one.

The ENGL Powerball, Fireball, Special Ed, Savage, and Blackmore are all
great worthy contenders. You'll be looking at around $1500, but getting
better tone than Mesa.

Soldano Hotrod 50 Plus is a great channel switching head you can score used for around $1000. If it doesn't say Plus, it's a single channel.

VHT, Egnater, DSL's, Jubilee's, 30th Ann Marshalls, Budda SD 80, Hughes & Kettner Triamp and Duotone, and Laneys are all great, versatile amps with nice high gain channels.

We need a little more than that man, what are looking for in an amp would be a good first. But my vote is for the ENGL SE, its kills everything, from marshall to homemade by grandpa to boutique 10,000.

ive never played the bogner, but every engl ive ever played has totally screamed. a few marshalls have come close, but never equalled and engl ive played....to think of it i cant recall ever playing a bad engl. marshall, you could get lucky and get a real jem, but most sound the same.....dsl over tsl tho.

engl over marshall for sure, bogner, never played...?

Before you make any decisions, ask yourself want bands you like and what application you'll be using it for. That will give us somewhere to go.

First off, no Marshall TSL. If you're gonna go Marshall, get the DSL. Now ask yourself what you're looking for in an amp...

Purely from resale standpoint, the Bogner and/or Engl should retain value if you're looking to sell them used.

I'd get the Bogner or ENGL. They just own Marshalls IMO.

Bogner romps on the TSL, havent played the ENGL....but the Bogner is THE AMP, its frickin unbelivable (and its gonna cost ya) but if you can get the Bogner, get it, and dont look back....

I prefer Marshall. But Vox & Mesa Boogie a really good too. Bad thing is to get them at a decent price you have to buy them used unless you luck out and a guitar store is going out of business (read MARS).
