I think we are on the verge of a slight shift. I think tube pre with transformer power stage heads are going to be to the weapon of choice for the next few years (look at the drooling over the Hand Box amps). I agree at a certain something lacking with class D heads, and am in the process of trying to negotiate my amp situations at the moment.
Now I'm not saying that going and humping about a peavey TNT 15" combo is a clever idea, but if you are getting all warm and fuzzy about trace Elliott, then go for it. Hey yourself a trace head, but get yourself a decent lightweight cab.
It is cool to rock up with an amp in a handbag, but in reality we can all manage a 10kg head.
I for one would love to hear a trace head through a neo 212 cab. They were highly regarded back in the day, I'd love to see how they stack up now!

I'm running a TE AH300SMC through an Ashdown ABM210 Neo plus (when needed) a TE Compact 115 re-loaded with a 300W Celestion. All quite warm, tight, punchy and reasonably portable - though I'll be replacing the 115 with a Barefaced BB2.
It's that TE pre-shape button that does it for me every time!
