Ampeg BA115 Combo/Trace Elliot replacement advice please

[klaw123]

Hi Chaps, Im looking for your sage advice please. I recently had my TE AH100 stolen, and now discover that my TE 4x10 (320w) cab may have damaged speakers. I'm thinking of replacing them with a combo and have been looking at the Ampeg BA115 (100w) as a possible replacement.

Do you think that a combo is the way to go or should I stick to the amp and cab route? Is the Ampeg combo a suitable replacement? Should I get my speakers replaced? Should I consider a different combo? I loved the Trace tone I had with my old rig.

Any advice would be really welcome.

Regards
Paul

I don't think the Ampeg will begin to be a replacement for your Trace.

Completely different sound IMHO.

I'd be looking out a used Trace head.
My AH150 (immaculate) cost me £79.99, delivered.

Why have anything else ?

Personally think a combo can be as good as the amp/cab of the same, as long as you don't mind being stuck with both parts (which I don't).
However, I don't know that I'd go with an Ampeg combo as recent QA seems pretty poor.
