I've never played a Bogner, other Diezels, but these are the five that worked best for me. I never owned the Einstein, a friend had one for awhile he snagged used from GC.
 
1970? Fender Vibrolux (Strat, Tele)
1976 JMP Marshall with Rodenberg and Scumbacks (with Strat and Les Paul)
JMI Vox Twin with old Silver Alnicos (Tele and Gretsch)
Old pre 1970 Vox Top Boost (Tele and Gretsch)
Victoria Tweed Bandmaster with Weber 10A125 Alnicos (Tele with Van Zandt 60ties)
Kai
 
Lots of Diezel love here. Limiting this to stock un-modded amps, each of these have left my jaw dropped - "there it is, game over" -

1985 Mesa Mark IIc+ (60W export reverb, sweetest one I've played)
2011 Diezel Hagen
1972 Marshall 50W Superlead
1962 Fender Vibrolux Brown
1991 Matchless Tweed Twin

But there are so many, and this year my 2012 ENGL Savage and 5153 50W are making an impression.
 
Friedman Marsha
Soldano SLO100
Bogner 100B
Diezel Herbert
EVH 5153
 
The only one I have any "considerable" amount of time on.

My first and my one n' only :inlove:

Mesa MkIIC+ fully loaded long head
Pre-pro Cameron CCV
69 Superbass Cameron HG/LG

...and I no longer own or have any of those except the blueface. :cry:

MKIIC

SLO
