Wow! that Ashdown head is nice for the price. 575 watts at 4 ohms for $300.00 is a steal, I'd say. But I would like to recommend the Schroeder 1012L as a high-efficiency cab to go with any amp of that wattage and for your purposes. It has the 12" mounted in a front baffle and the 10" mounted in a horn-type baffle (you can order it the other way around, too) and will project and cut through much better than an ordinary 2X10, with lots of low-mid punch, perfect for new country or old. I just bought a 4X10L and can't believe how much louder I am in the mix out front, without PA support, while still being at a sane level next to the drummer. (Bar gigs, you know?) I have no affiliation with Schroeder, other than being a happy user. The stuff is pricey, but it's hand made in California, uses quality drivers, and besides, look how much you will save on the Ashdown!
