i just got a ^^^^^^ and im thinking of just using it as a head to power an external loudspeaker system, which one/how many watts would be most efficient with this amp
 
if you're gonna do that, I would suggest gettin a marshall extension cab (could even go with a 412). The tsl601 is 100 watts i think, so it could power most any cab.
 
Just make sure you pay attention to the impedance you put on the amp, whatever cab you choose.

would the marshall 1936 extension cab be good?

Yes, if you use it by itself, without the internal speaker. After that, it's about the sound. I'm not too hip on how the different cabs sound, though.

As far as the impedance goes, with your amp, it goes like this:

If you use the internal speaker alone, set the switch to 16ohms.

If you use the internal speaker with an external speaker, the external has to be 16ohms, and the switch on the amp has to be set at 8ohms.

If you use external speakers only, you can:
Use one 8ohm cab, and set the amp switch to 8ohms
Use one 16ohm cab, and set the amp switch to 16ohms
Use two 16ohm cabs, and set the amp switch to 8ohms

The 1936 is designed to act like either one 8ohm cab, or two 16ohm cabs. They call it mono/stereo, as the cab can be set so it has two separate 16ohm inputs. In your case, since it can't be set to be 16ohms mono, you can't use the internal speaker along with the 1936 cab.

It will work if you set it to mono and set the amp for 8ohms, or set it to stereo, use two speaker cables, and set the amp for 8 ohms.

Hope that's not too confusing.
 
thanks so much dude, no its not confusing but like. if i want to use both the internal speaker and external what cab should i buy? it doesn't have to be a marshall just any brand and i want it about 600 dollars
