EA iAMP 800 v Eden WT800C v Acoustic Image Clarus SL S4plus

[Bassman8416]

I have only used the Eden, which I liked, but I am trying to lighten the load a little bit.
So after some research it seems like the Clarus SL S4plu or EA iAMP 800 look good as alternatives....for clear sound at louder volumes with decent headroom. I appreciate any observations or suggestions.

I also currently own a Mesa subway D800, so feel free to throw that into the mix. Does seem to me that the D800 has more grit in the tone compared to the Eden head.

If you like the Eden check out David's new DNA-800.

I had an DNA 1350, it didn't seem to have the headroom that I thought it would have....granted I bought it used...but I was disappointed. Sure didn't see like 1350 watts. The D800
seems like it has as much or perhaps more overall power and headroom than the DNA 1350.

I have a wt-800c and I've thought about getting something smaller/lighter and the Mesa head is at the top of the list, with the power, aux in, headphone out and the ability to run a pair of 4 ohm cabs...I'm curious to hear what folks have to say about the comparison
