So, I am thinking about getting a stereo power amp to potentially run my wet cabs in a W/D/W setup and/or use with a loaded down amp head for true stereo setup - I don't use any preamp-only in my setup, as of yet.
Originally, I was looking at picking up a simple Matrix SS amp...and I would probably do this if I was ONLY going to use the power amp for wet effects. The fact that I might use it with a loaded down head makes me wonder if I shouldn't lean toward a tube power amp? Even if I have the 'tube goodness' from the loaded down amp?
So, curious to hear about SS vs tube power amps for these two applications...
In addition, specifically on the Strategy 400 model - I noticed in pictures that the outputs are only 8ohm or 4ohm. I would be using this with 16ohm 4x12 cabs (left and right). Is the Strategy not safe to run with 16ohm cabs? I am a little surprised there were not 16 ohm outputs per side.
thanks!
