I recently picked up a Blackstar HT5, which I love so far.
In the meantime, I also found an Orange Micro Terror Dark 15w amplifier for low dollars on a local trade site. Wow, this thing is SMALL! Really "micro"... it is another hybrid amp, with a single pre-amp tube but solid state power section. The amplifier is LOUD. LOUD. LOUD. Wow. It sounds good, the crunch is nice, but I really like the clean sound. Not sure if I will keep it, since it is a duplicate of the Blackstar (in a sense) but they do sound different. There is something to be said for having a small amp like this to bring to a friend's house, etc... Right now I have it paired with a small 10" Marshall box that I built (with Celestion greenback) and it sounds very nice.
I do wish it had two channels.
Anyone else out there with a Micro?
