i think the lowest i seen is a laney 15w and its about £200. my guitar teacher says valve amps are best for gigging and solids are better at lower volumes. im still in 2 minds.
i listen to all sorts mostly guitar gods,hendrix, velvet revolver, van halen, metallica, satriani, bb king!! ac/dc, you get the picture!! so many tones but id rather have my own!!
