[quote name='Jazzman' post='48999' date='Aug 22 2007, 03:07 PM']I currently have a Trace Elliot 7215 combo (300W 1 x 15). I'm convinced that it is not as loud as it used to be. My older bass used to peak before the volume got near 10. Now my newer louder bass doesn't peak even when both pre and post gains are at 10.

Anyway, I feel like a change regardless. I believe there are nicer sounding amps out there. I intend to research the market well, but I would appreciate any tips from you guys.

I have around a grand to spend.

My requirements:

Portability - a must. I would like something lighter and ideally slightly smaller. I have recently become a dad and the car is full of all kinds of baby crap. I have my eye on Markbass - what other lightweight stuff is available?

Power - 300W has always been enough for me so far. Don't think I could go lower, certainly not below 250W

Sound - I think I prefer a clean solid state sound. I play rock, funk and jazz, but don't like heavy compression or any distortion on my sound.
As there is so much out there now, any help is narrowing down the market would be much appreciated.

Gallery have a SVT 111pro mint for 599 and an EBS neo 2/10 for 350 and 410 for 550, if you can get 50 off the amp then you got a beast of a set up !!! go check it out.. quick!

Most speaker manufacters list the design parameters, all I need is som formulas or methods of calculating volume! I'm sure the brainpower is out there in BW!
