But now I use a Fender Rumble 100. It's XLR output is very quiet and I get just the tone I'm after. I like using the amp as a monitor as I play, much better than suffering the output of my NMS 10's. 

I have a v3 200. Nice amp. Too much for home use. I haven't tested the DI out on it. Glad to hear it's a good one!

I have some nice tube amps that are good for home use, but they don't see much use any more. I have two systems set up in my home studio. I have a VG-99 going into the DAW and use S-Gear and come out thru the PA. If I want some pedals I'll put TH3 or something in front of S-Gear. I also have pedals going into a PRS 20 head and the fx loop goes thru the DAW and I use S-Gear with that as well. I have two cabs that work with the PRS - a 2x12 CB with Weber Vintage Series AlNiCos (early 60's fender tone) or a 1x12 Celestion Greenback OB (early marshall sound).

The beauty of my Rumble is it's super light weight and it fits under my desk. The Master level allows me to set the room level without it changing the DI output level. So you can even turn the speaker level off. You can see it behind my Dobro here. I use it for when I play gigs and it works well as an acoustic guitar amp too.

I use Vox MINI 5. It covers all my needs for guitar practice and then some. For recording and headphones practice I most often use tube preamps.

I don't have anything over 15 watts so everything is a practice amp. Kinda of prefer heads now too. Any combo has mods so I can use it as a speaker cab for use with any other head or combo. Fav lately has been an Eminence Cannabis Rex, which is in a Fender Musicmaster Bass amp, powered by a Fender Bassbrraker 15 head. A Bassbreaker 007 7 watt might be a better practice amp but the 15 has reverb and an effects loop.

I use the AG-15M acoustic amp from Dean Markey. Very clean and reasonably transparent for something this small. I use it with Line6 modelers.

When I had my music store I sold a lot of those Dean Markleys. Mostly a model that was bigger than the one above. One of the best sounding amps on the market at the time, Do they still make them. I regret not keeping one for myself.  I never had anyone bring one back. 
The worst amps for returns were Marshall Valvstates. All the controls would bonk out after less than a year. There was a little Samick 10 watt practice amp that was a dead ringer for a Marshall tone at 1/2 the price. They also developed scratchy pots. They used the identical parts.
