If you really like the mark amps, and you really like the recto amps, why not combine the two?
I'm putting together another stereo rig and can't agree more with you, love the tight scooped tone my mk3 delivers, and love that big aggressive tone of a recto.
I know its not the popular name by if you dig some of the rectos tones check out a PRS Archon
I was pleasantly surprised as the clips range from awful to somewhat decent lol
The amp in person is actually quite a bit better than clips show.
Its got the Thick Mesa distortion and a really Brit open roar to mids it's also pretty tight if you want it to be
lots of options as well 50 or 100 watts heads ,El34 or 6l6
The one I played the clean reminded me of a Mesa lonestar has it that low end response
Drive was Kinda Bogner IMO
