Amp Match for Albert Lee Guitar

Hi fellow AL guitar owners. I am considering a amp purchase to match up with my 2 AL guitars. What are your experiences?
Any suggestions?
Thank-you for your thoughts on this!

Depends on what kind of music you're playing. I use a Top Hat King Royale and a '63 Vibroverb RI. I have a Top Hat Club Deluxe on the way.

I use a TopHat Club Royale 2x12 with the SS recto. Wonderfully versatile amp, esspecially when running pedals in the front of it.

I used to own an AL. I played it through a Music Man amp, kicked major ass. Albert Lee himself plays Music Man HD-130's.

He also played Rivera at some point, but he's no longer listed on their website, I don't know what's up with that.

I think an AL through any vintage Fender amp would be awesome. An AL through any amp would be pretty awesome. Like I have said..The AL is what a Strat wishes it could sound like

I don't have an AL, but I do have an ash Axis Sport with Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro 2s (h-s-s). I figure it's pretty close to the same sonic persona - at least, that's what I was aiming for. I play it through a '65 Twin RI which seems to match it very well.
