Much as I love my old tube amps, I have to admit that they don't work best in a lot of situations these days.
It seems to me that you are satisfied with modelling setups, but that you want better quality of sound.
I suggest taking a close look at the POD lineup. You can use a small stereo system or some high quality computer speakers for playback, or real-time monitors.
When you're ready for some vintage tube amps that can rearrange your furniture, we can talk. :D
