This is a home audio (hifi) forum so I doubt you'll get much assistance here. Is the amp going to be used for guitar/bass/vocals? You'll get more specific advice in a musical instruments store. Take their advice and then shop privately if price is the key.

Yep, that's a pretty good amp. I've just looked at the specs. If you're buying new online and it comes with a Marshall warranty then you'll be fine. I've bought tons of things online, hifi etc and had no problems. Just make sure you buy from a reputable dealer. I've got a Marshall JCM800 that I've had for years and I recall buying that mail order (not online as such) but it still came through the post! I trust you'll be playing smallish gigs and miking the amp?

If I am buying 2 12" subs how many watts does the amp have to be? Does it depend on the speaker wattage? I'm so confused when looking online at different speakers and amps for them. Please help!

Buying amp, speakers etc

I am based in the UK but will be coming to US soon. I wish to buy an amp and speakers to ship back to UK. I am interested in preamps, power amps or integrated or combo etc. Can any one suggest what to get as I do not know the American market. I am looking to spend between $1,000 and $3,000. Thnaks for your assistance
