Example A:

Jet City JCA2112RC Amp Demo Clean and Dirty - YouTube

Example B:

Champions of Chime - Top Hat Amps Club Royale - YouTube

One is mass produced in China, with as many corners cut as possible.

The other is hand built in the US with an optimal selection of premium parts, manufactured by a craftsman who has built hundreds of amps, enlarging the Vox/Matchless concept to, as far as I can tell, its fullest capacity.
If we're talking low wattage combos that top hat wins mind you I've seen some nice 60 watt combos by Germany Hughes and kitchener for 900 at long and mcquaide. That top hat is still pretty awesome
