So would my Powerstage 200 not be up to the job even if it was 1x speaker?

It will work. Allot of people use them. Class D has come a long way. Google "class D vs class AB". Paul from PS audio has some great videos explaining the difference. If portability is important to you then go class D. If audio quality (especially in the higher frequencies) is your goal class AB is the better choice. I went with class H cuz its kind of the best of both worlds. Still alot heavier than a class D but my Axefx3 is in a rack anyway. Plus I got a really good deal on one. Half of what a powerstage cost. Alot of guys go with a matrix gt amp which are class AB but lightweight. How they manage to do that I don't know. Their price reflects the convenience and sound quality tho. Hope that helps.

If you are near st. Louis I'd let you test drive mine before you pull the trigger
It should? I'll report back once I get the Orange as well.

I haven't a clue. I know zilla is making cabs to celestion specs. There are loaded montage cabs on ebay. Not sure if they are to spec. Seems you guys in the UK have more options than we do in the states. I was able to build two loaded cabs for the price it would cost me to buy just one.
Not that I've seen. Could always just build it and add a plate amp.
That is cool!
Well if you are building your own parts express has the 230v version of that same amp for 99USD right now. I was seriously considering those but I needed 2 of the120v models which are 199USD ea. I went with a rack amp. It was cheaper and less work drilling one barrel Jack hole than cutting out for a plate amp. It did however add 22lbs to my rack. That plate amp will add 14lbs to a cabinet. My cabs weigh in at 30lbs ea. I wonder if adding a plate amp would effect resonance.
How is the power baby?
I just run my Avatar Forte cabs "as-built". As far as I can see, the internal flaps are not adjustable. From what I hear, I have never been inspired to change anything about them.
