I truly wish this wasn't the case, but like you said everyone else is doing 
it too.  And if truth be known I'd rather have a metal panel of Plexi myself, 
but I bought my 900 head for $550.  Can't touch either one for that price.

What do you consider proffesional use?  I play mine between 5 and 6 hours 
straight every Saturday at volumes enough to get over a too loud inept 
drummer. Been doing this for a while now, close to a year.  I haven't had any 
problems and seriously hope I don't.  Have you heard anything about 
substituting a beefier transformer?
