Subject:combo amps

I'm playing left hand bass (no bass player) through a pair of Peavey KB100s, but I'm becoming dissatisfied with this setup. The amps are only rated at 75w each, and the built-in limiter is constantly switching on (a built-in Peavey safety feature I presume to save them having to replace so many speakers under warranty). The rig is just not powerful enough.

These amps are about 60 lbs. each, and I don't really want to get into lifting anything a whole lot heavier. I'm leaning towards a pair of Yorkville 200kbs.

Any other recommendations? None of the dealers up here in Canada stock what I call "boutique" amplifiers (Barbetta, Mackie, etc.) and I wouldn't want to order sight unseen. What's the verdict on Roland KC500?

Thanks,
Steve B.
