IMO Loops are Reinhold's weakness. They are not the greatest; especially in the XTC, Shiva's.
In any case, I just sold my XTC Classic today. Great amp, but needs a lot of volume to get the goods.

Not to bring up old threads but it is comments like this about the older Bogners requiring lots of volume to sound good that has kept me from taking the plunge. I keep hearing the newer models are better at lower volumes. Too bad they don't make a 50 watt version. I has the same issue with a VHT UL! Could not use it on gigs so it went. Luckily I found a VHT ST/50 that can be run in the sweet spot for jams and gigs. I wanted a Deliverance but that too is too loud. Finding amps that work on local gigs is the hardest part. That is why I haven't gotten rid of my Egnater Mod 50 because I have yet to find an amp that works at so many levels and situations. I need to find a Bogner like this....hoping the 20th shiva could be it.
