For my needs, and for playing in church I use a Rolland AC-60. I'm very happy with everything about it. Even the chorus sounds great in the right songs. If your looking for a amp, I strongly recommend at least checking out the Rolland line.  I have no affiliation with Rolland, just a satisfied customer.  8)

Pappy +1. I have found both the AC60 and AC90 do a fantastic job of capturing the Taylor sound via ES.

My friend, Herb Hunter, has a good suggestion that he posted on another friendly forum:

Taylor has announced a limited-edition, builder's-reserve amplifier with matching guitar combination limited to 30 units. The amplifier is a bi-amp design with an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter in a sealed cabinet rated at 40 watts (note that bi-amping increases headroom). The iPhone photograph of a page from the current Wood & Steel depicts a German spruce / flamed mahogany, grand symphony guitar with a matching maple amplifier having a mahogany insert with an inlay following the motif of the guitar inlay.
Who'll be the first among us to order this lovely set?

For small gigs - Roland AC90.
Midsize- SoloAmp and if needed, added QSC K8s.
Larger gigs- SoloAmp + QSC k8s.
For T5s- same setup as above OR add in electric amp and run A/B to electric amp (Mesa Subway Rocket or PV Delta Blues or Roland Cube80x) and acoustic amp OR
Electric amp with Peavey 12" PA cab on stand as extension speaker.
Vocals through SoloAmp or Roland AC90 with or without QSC K8s to fill the room.
Plug and play with ES guitars and T5s. Easy setup and takedown.
Yeehaa!

My wife gave me a Fishman Loudbox Mini for my birthday in November. I'm new to guitars, playing for one year! It sounds great and fills the room with my playing a combo of: Blackbird, Stairway and Tears in Heaven, over and over and over!!!. I don't amp it loud as I have nice neighbors who if I did play loud I'm sure would start a fund to buy me a Yamaha silent guitar! If I were buying though I go for the Fishman Loudbox Artist. Always nice to have more than you need. Ted has certainly benefited from this in my purchase of three guitars from him since last March, one for my son-in-law! My next guitar from Ted will be either an OM 28 Marquis or SCGC Standard OM. Then onto a nice dread, either a D18GE, D28 Marquis or D42, unless a nice SCGC, H&D or Bourgeois snags me. Gibson's quality control is just not consistent. Love their J45 TV, however I would go with either a Kopp or John Walker.

these sets are a bit over the top in the looks department for my preferences... i bet they sound fantastic tho and I'm sure they won't last long whichever store is lucky enough to get to sell them
