New to this hobby please help me

In the Link, there is info about the Clone Amp, but the info supplied by @whitstix is is well worth taking on board, especially when the Amp's owned and their pedigrees are considered.

If a stereo amp was to be considered, this is a worthwhile knowledge to receive.

Forget your budget for now.  Unless you know what sound signatures you like the cost doesn’t mean a thing.  Determine what sounds good to you based on the music you like. When you visit shops have your music at hand.  play it, listen to it across multiple types of speakers.  Do you like detail or do you like bottom end? Lastly, enjoy the ride it’s fun and “eye” opening to hear such differences.  Once you know what you like you can begin to zero in on brand and budget. 

^^ best advice right here.  People will likely recommend what they own but in the end your ears should tell you what to get.  Take advantage of local dealers and demo what they carry or go to audio shows to get a feel.  It's a journey.

OP,STOP STOP STOP!!!
 All these recommendations for speakers or how to demo them are WORTHLESS if you have no clue what REAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS sound like!
Before you spend 1 minute/dollar traveling around to demo speakers,GO LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC,amplified & acoustic!
Hell even go hang out at Guitar Center,ask the sales guys/girls to demo some different instruments for you..Learn how a Strat sounds different from a Les Paul,how an electric keyboard sounds different from a good acoustic piano,how a trumpet sounds different from a sax,how an electronic drum set sounds from real skins..You'll save time,money & frustration in the long run!
 

@wizzard The Typical Speaker is a Directional sound source.

Instruments of which there are many, have many types that produce Omnidirectional Sound.

A Typical speaker can’t create this sound type, but will produce a sound that is a good reminder of such produced  sound.

Sound from a PA System will be closer matched to a Typical Speaker as both are Directional sound sources.

A speaker in a dedicated audio  system is much more refined as a sound than that from a PA System.

If a live sound is enjoyed, then keep on creating experiences with live sound being produced either as a non amplified sound source or as a sound produced through amplification and speakers. 

When versions of the above are wanted to be heard as sound produced from the above. This is where the home audio system is a good substitute, but as a means to create a live experience, it is far far far away from the being their experience.

Audio systems are without doubt great tricksters and are able to dupe many.

Find your ideal sound illusion, the one that dupes you best.
