How do yo think my 320 would sound through that Epi head and cab?

A couple of friends (both staunch Rick collectors, non-Forumites) and I were at the Gibson booth at NAMM , marvelling over this same setup.
Although "small" is the operative word here, both items are very nice, especially considering the prices!!! The amp is very sweet-sounding.

C'mon, Mitch. That's speculation.
Get thee to a music merchant.

I got that catalog in the mail, too. Compared to the preceding catalog, it looks a LOT less like a company that is getting rid of remaining stock and going out of business; i.e., they're advertising higher caliber instruments again.
Wasn't it mentioned that GC or MF was taking them over or something? Perhaps things are on the mend now?

Yes, Music123 is bankrupt and GC/MF took them over, or is in the process of doing so.
Regarding the Epi amp, they're real nice for what they are and sound really good, especially cranked up all the way. I played my 360/12V64 through a friend's amp and it sounded great (using a Dr. Z 2x10 cab), but I'd say it's best suited for 6 stringers and grinding blues/rock. Gibsons and Fenders make that amp sing.
It's a LOUD 5 watts when cranked, so it might be too loud at home but that depends on your situation.
Don't think anyone has those 1x12 cabs yet so I can't comment on those.

1. Yes, over at the Fender Forum, people have raved over that little Epi head, especially for the price. "Loud at five watts?" Hard to believe.
2. Yes, I received the same catalog. (I get catalogs all the time from M123, MF and AMS.) M123 is definitely selling stuff and taking orders. However some people have posted about getting items late (or not at all). JH claims that some vendors are holding back shipments to Music123.
This kind of talk though goes on all the time. I remember a few months ago everyone over at the corporate site was ranking on M123 and praising how great MFriend was. MF apparently has "cancelled" a couple of Rick orders and now MF is in the dog house.
I could add more but will hold off.
