Which amp in the 20 watt range to run with AC30 in stereo?

My tech is redoing a junker twin 6V6 amp with a Marshall tone stack in hopes of giving me some thump that I get with my Marshall Super Bass and Hiwatt DR 103. Running the SB or Hiwatt and the AC30 is indeed heavenly but is of course way too loud and overpowers my AC30 (in top boost channel) which I like as my base sound. Next step is looking for a closed back 2X12. Is anybody running a stereo set up with their AC30?

Similar. I run a Victoria Double Deluxe with G12H30s alongside a Mesa Blue Angel on EL84 setting or occasionally a 65 London. The Vic and Mesa sound great together, but the London and the Vic is outstanding. 6V6 an EL84 play very well together.

I think a Swart AST would run very nicely in stereo w/ an AC30.

I was listening to a Dr. Z Z28 and kind of thought that might give a nice low mid thump with the sparkly Vox. It has a EF 86 front end with twin 6V6's. Anybody run a Z28 in stereo with another amp?

I like my EL-34 Shiva with my AC30CCH. It gives me that nice Fendery clean channel and more on the dirt side than the Vox. It is a more powerful amp but the Shiva's great MV keeps that in check. The Vox just seem to sit in the middle well with the normal and Top-Boost channels, plus mixing them is another cool option.

I would like to have a matching Bogner OS2x12 with Blues and all would be complete! I never hear about this combo much, but to me it works and sounds great. I am not always in stereo but I do spend a good amount of time there, especially using pedals.

Fender, Vox, and Marshall-that covers most everything important in the last 50 years with stereo to boot!

Add a few pedals and the tones are almost endless!
