Straight forward gigging amp, I’d go with the Fender Hot Rod series.

Cheap 2nd hand and quite east to find.

I’ve used and gigged with them for years and they just work.

Might not be my home or dream amp of choice but a great workhorse, easy to work on or have work done on and they can do clean or dirt and take pedals well.

And you don’t have to get t too precious over them if they get ridden hard and put away wet.
Yeah, I used to tour with those because they are cheap so if they get stolen or break you won't care. They sound decent enough, fenderish tone not too expensive or heavy. I've gone off of the deep end into British style amps lately, so I no longer use anything fender. Getting fancy in my old age.
I agree with train of thought. I like inexpensive Fenders & Vox Amps, good sounding, hard working, easy to replace Amps that you won't cry over if something happens to them. Another one can be had quickly & inexpensively....

It certainly isn't 3.5x3x2.4! That's not even a Closet...

IMO a medium sized Room is a Club that holds a couple hundred people...
I'm willing to bet he's speaking in metric ;)

That's roughly 11.5x10x9.
LOL That's got to it! So, he's talking about a Bedroom? What's the connection to a Gig Amp? I thought the OP was referring to an Amp for Medium sized Gigs?
I think his point was that he's got "large room" amps in a "not large room", so the OP shouldn't worry about matching an amp to a medium sized room - just get something that sounds good and gets loud.

At least, that was my interpretation.
