better than the Stewarts.

I am in no way a fan of the SA120... but I will agree that it is a
huge step up in sound quality and reliability from the Stewarts.

I have a few 1-space amps kicking around; I was using the Stewart
specifically because I can put it in a laptop case with a mixer, some
cables, and a microphone, a speaker in each hand, and stands in a bag on my
back, and load in by myself in one trip, with no large cases and assorted
gak to deal with. In events like these, sound quality is secondary, sadly.

I am coming to realize that I do it like this at elast in part because I've
always done it like this. Perhaps I should rethink the whole works.

Hmm.

(For what it's worth, the most reliable gear I've got (besides things like
SM58s) are my Marshall 8008 power amps.)
