Default Acoustic amp 30-60W for Yamaha NTX 900

I just got new Yamaha NTX 900 and it looks and sounds beautiful!
I'm wondering if anybody has recommendation for acoustic amp 30-60W which would be also used for vocal (small gigs). Guitar has nylon strings and ART pickup system.

Hi Justinian…
I love the sound of UltraSound AG-50 amps. Very natural sounding, and light and easy to transport.

I sing through one channel of mine all the time.

I'll second Larry on the 50 watt UltraSound DS4.

Two channels, light to carry, natural sound.

A question: Do you really find the 8" speakers adequate? Sufficient Bass response?

My experience is limited to using a PA system, or something like an an old Twin Reverb (sounds quite good with a Baggs DI as interface). However, I have several students asking about "reasonably priced" acoustic guitar amps, so I'm researching. Thanks for comments!

Well, to answer my own question, a bit of trolling reveals that 8" speakers are apparently the standard in low/mid-priced acoustic amps. Guess they work OK or there'd be more options or folks wouldn't be buying them.

Portability is definitely an issue for the people I'm trying to advise in this case - they would not want to be hauling around one of my old tube amps.
