What he said. specially if its a professional sound company you're working
with. Back in the 60's and mainly the 70's PA systems were weak to non existant,
hence the evolution of the monster megawatt behemoths. When PA systems became
the behemoths we have today, the on-stage amplification shrunk. The backline
(wall of amps) many rock bands use today, if ever, is mostly for show.

As most folks are using in-ears anyway, it's a moot
point. You're only using your amp onstage as a
monitor, not powering the room (except in really small
circumstances).
