i need a great low volume amp, not practice amp!

I know i cant be the only one here thinking about this. and before anyone starts screaming, i know there are companys like line 6 who are trying to make good low watt amps. However i dont think any company has really come close. IMO i think the problem is the companys out there are not trying to give us a great low volume amp. instead they want to give us a practice amp. the way of thinking on the subject is wrong. the amp companys out there think all we need is some low watt tube amp or SS amp with a 3 band EQ and some crapy  built in effects and slap a 12" speaker in a crappy wood combo and say " ok here you go" when what we really want is the 100 watt version at a low 10-20 watt SS volume that we can actually crank in our bedroom or in my case apartment with out getting told " your to loud". also the look and features are something to be improved on to. i am not a gigging musician. but that doesnt mean i dont want a midi switchable effects and amp rig in my home. or a foot controllable effects loop and channel selector. i might be wrong here, since i dont know anything about building amps. i only play them. but i think what we need is a tube driven pre amp with a tube simulated SS power amp at 10-20 watts, multiple independant channels, real reverb, midi in and out, foot switchable fx loop and channle selector, solid wood construction, and a 4 8" speaker cab. maybe not 8" but something smaller than 12 for sure. anyone else have any other ideas? am i crazy thinking we might need something like this? idk what do you think?

    if you want a pro amp get a pro amp... you should look into attenuators that will lower the volume for you while still giving you that pro amp tone.

     

    a good example would be a dr z airbrake.
