Wondering what the wattage difference is and overall do they sound similar ?  There is a guy selling a old tube Sunn PA head, and he mentioned the faceplate reads "PA", but he can't remember if it says Coliseum PA or not.

Just wondering what else it could be?  Studio PA head ?  I plan on playing guitar threw it and don't want to buy a head that is useless.

Any info. much appreciated  :mrgreen:

Thanks.......

The difference is that the Coliseum has an extra pair of output tubes, twice the power of the Studio. As far as I can tell from looking at the schematics, the circuits are the same except for the output section. I'd imagine they should sound very similar tonally.
