Judging from that clip I prefer the 6505. I've plugged into these things a few times over the years and they are definitely one of the best sounding metal amps out there.
The ENGLs are a bit of a step beyond though.
OP
@ibmorjamn - @syscokid just built this for me...all hand-wired, point-to-point construction, Marstran Transformers, Custom Voicings, Digital FX Loop, 6550's with CV4004'S and a Resonance control...

It looks bad ass, I might try a origin myself. The Transformers are the best.
I however have some amps I started and this kind inspires me to get back to building them.

They are but 6505's are a working man's amp. ENGl $$$$$
OP
The Red/Black amp is a hand built 50 watter, not to be confused with the hot rodded Marshall Origin Ivanberg 50 Watt Head.
OP
And i have this too...
1993 Valvestate rated at 100watts with 4 ohm speakers and 80 watts with 8 ohm speakers...

I still kick myself in the ass for letting an original Peavey 5150 go to a "friend" for next to nothing, who decided to pawn it instead of selling it back at the same price if he didn't like it. I didn't dig it at the time but I honestly didn't use it right.
I was stuck on the classic Marshall mid crunch sound and that was so radically different. Had I kept it, I would've used it properly in the more modern metal sound I was heading towards anyways without realizing it.
Still, as good as it could've been, a 6505+ goes much much further, much like ENGLs

I just played a 50w 5153 white. $799
Turned it down to bedroom volume.
Blue and Red channels sound awesome.
Then I played a The new DSl 40cr , damn.
Didn't mess with any channels just dirty as it was and it kicks ass. Difference would be past 3 on the master. Well $300 more for the Marshall name but I bet dollars to donuts cranked the 5153 mops the floor.
I just wonder if the GC employee's can handle the truth. Lol
