Thanks to people's advise and agreement on the Hughes and Kettner Switchblade, I'm shortly about to make an ebay purchase on a 50W Switchblade Combo biggrin.gif

Now my rather simple question which I'm sure has been answered THOUSANDS of times, and ranks fairly basic in amp questions... But, if I connect this amp to a 2x12 or 4x12 cab at some point in the future, the output will always be maximum 50Watts correct? Or if I'm looking at 2/4 x 75W speakers, does that increase the volume significantly?

I kinda understand the theory that an amp can only power the speakers to the amp's wattage, but I get slightly confused when 4 speakers or more are run of the same amp...

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Just to also note it has output options of 4, 1 x 8, 2 x 16, 16 Ohm's.
