From my expierence with a POD they sound a whole lot better going thru a power amp setup. I used mine with a Tech 21 Power engine. Nice setup actually. In a small club I used it as an amp setup, whereas at a larger venue I used it as a stage monitor and DI it into the board.

The speaker has there own name on it but I have a hunch they are made by celestion. What you put in you get out. If you model a tweed you get a tweed and so on. Kind of like a stereo power amp idea. They have a cool vintage look to them. I still have mine, I use it as an acoustic amp now. Plug a magicstomp acoustic box in and hey... sounds good. I payed around 435.00 for mine from L&M.
