What's a good amp to go with a Taylor?

I have two and like them both: Fishman Loudbox Mini and VOX AGA 70. Completely different sounds, but they both sound awesome. I think the Fishman Loudbox Artist is a nice amp too.

My 714 CE-n (nylon) sounds pretty good through the Roland AC-33, which has a nice, full sound and can run on batteries!

I love my Marshall AS50D for the price that I bought it used, but so much of this choice depends on what features you want and how you will use the amp.

If I were buying new and playing out, I would hold out for an SR Jam 100. They are the most natural sounding acoustic amps I have ever heard, have thee channels, loads of inputs and come with an onboard mixer so you can go to a House PA. They also have come way down in price this year.

The SR also sounds pretty good with arch tops and semi-hollow/hollow body electrics.

I've never played a taylor acoustic through an amp by itself but I have played a koa t5 through an aer compact 60 and I was blown away by how good it sounded... they are pretty pricey amps tho... I just ordered a roland ac60 for myself as I couldn't justify the cost of the AER and am hoping that it lives up to its reviews and impressions that I got from others that own and use it...

I'm surprised that no one has suggested Taylor's own ES amplifier yet (Builder's Reserve Series).
I had a chance to play with a BRIII amp at my FLGS (favorite local guitar shop).
It sounded great. I compared against Fishman Solo and Fishman Loudbox Artist at the same time using the same guitars (various Taylor models).
ES amplifier sounded best with any Taylor guitars.
However, it did not sound well with other pickup systems (e.g. Martin F1 Aura).
Only problem is its price...

i, too have the roland ac33.  nice little amp great for the room, gararge party, tailgates, and some small crowd gigs.  the price is not that cheap but you'll see why as its size will fool you. 

best to go plug in at your local music store for a test drive.  the roland 60 also is another great product, albeit, much bigger.

trust in roland.

For small gigs I use a Fishman Loudbox Mini.  It works very nicely and the tone belies its size.

For larger gigs, I use a Bose L1 (Original version) with 2 x B1 bass cabinets and the T1 Tonematch module.  Just a tremendously transparent system that sounds fantastic and covers a large area easily.  It really shows off its capabilities in outdoor venues like the Farmers Markets and street festivals I've played.  Easy to hear but not overpowering, you don't have to worry about blowing the audience away in order to get the coverage to the back of the room/performance area.
