Any "modern" bass amp (as opposed to vintage/SVT) should sound good for acoustic... Ported enclosures with an adjustable tweeter should work great.

Yeah, that's true. Piezo's usually like a very high impedance. If it's run into a low-z input, it will sound very thin. But anyone who's ever soldered anything before could rig up one of these impedance matchers: http://www.scotthelmke.com/Mint-box-buffer.html
