[QUOTE="handsome, post: 45977, member: 772"] It looks like a modern marshall so you wont be destroying a classic...but....guitar output transformers are.. er... crap for hi-fi. most muso equipment is designed to cost and because guitarists (and bassists for that matter) use very little low end or high end (despite what they think) the trannies are always bandwidth limited due to cost constraints as well as having pretty poor distortion specs. generally they are just really small physically for the rated (claimed?) power output. remember 100W instrument power typically means 100W @ 10% thd, hifi amps should be at least ten times better than that. guitar amp power supplies are also designed to 'sag' thus the power trannie will not be adequate to sustain the rated power in a hifi setup.....
