A mate is building on to his house and stored some gear at my place. I tried to convince him the Hughes and Kettner Tube 50 was stolen , but I think he'll notice if I haul it out at a jam session ☹
Since there don't seem to be too many floating around, I thought I'd start checking out other amps which might be in the same ball park.
As a noob on tonal aspects, I lack the vocab to accurately describe what I like about it in terms that might be useful, but I'll have a go in anycase ??? ?
For background, my playing to date has mostly been through a Blackstar HT-5. The H+K clear and lightly driven sounded fantastic for the blues / blues rock / classic rock style I prefer to play. It responded very well to changes in attack at the guitar end. It just has a bigger sound than the HT-5 even at the same volume levels (yes, I know they are two different animals, but I was amazed.)
Any suggestion on what might be in the H+K ball park ? Ideally, lower wattage for home use, but if it takes 50 to get that sound so be it ?. I quite enjoyed the built in spring reverb, but will grudgingly admit it's probably a nice to have and not an absolute requirement.

I have no idea ☹
What speaker configuration were you playing the amp through? Usually that really helps to make a amp sound"bigger"
And the ht-5' are grate amps,but its as if most of these amps that cover so much ground,never,exactly nail one thing...so most of the time its versatility, or something that's a one trick pony,that does that trick better then anything else out there ?. And usually the more flexible the equipment the more experience and knowledge you need to get what you want out of it ?
