hi friends, since i am the proud owner of a brandnew 5 watt head, i could not wait to check out, how that thing behaves in the real world. i hooked it up to a 1X12" cab, loaded with the almighty eminence tonker. to tell the truth: i can see no way, how you can possibly rock an audience with 5 watts. i turned it up full blast, and that was still nothing really substancial. it would be okay for a rehearsal or a really mellow band with acoustic instruments, singer songwriter stuff. then i plugged back the princeton and there was that power again. just ten watts more, but i guess that is what it takes. my two cents and i have been wrong before....
