All is not lost, as I still have my 150 watt Sunn 25 years later.
Obviously, you didn't get the message. In Sunn's world, the Model T is a
small amp. :laugh2:
The Model T is a nice amp. Is yours the old grey-grill kind, or the early-80's white-and-red trim? I used to have a white-and-red 2x12 cab, with the 12's loaded into a short, straight horn. Looked like something John Entwistle would have owned, but I used it for guitar with a Hiwatt DR103. I blame that rig for the touch of tinnitus in my right ear.

Because I know where you live. I'm making a SWAG that it's the GC on 45 near Baybrook. Okay, H&H in Baybrook. that's cool.
Hah - but you don't know where I
work, smarty-pants! It was the H&H on Fairmont, just off Beltway 8 in Pasadena.
The funny thing was, when he said it, I was literally shaking. I
so wanted to blurt out, "My 13 Watter is both the best-sounding and least powerful amplifier I've ever owned!" (
OK, not counting that first Tempo 1x8 SS amp that my parents bought me for Christmas from Lafayette Electronics; that was only 5 watts. And its predecessor, a converted Hallicrafters shortwave radio that shocked the hell outta me every time I used it - that was probably only a watt or so. I'm sure they both sounded like cr@p.) But it's their store, so they can say what they want I suppose, as long as they're not saying it to me, and I know better than to ask.
