That combo would be fine, but if you're going to step to a Bogner 4x12 (which is around 1100$ I believe)I would get a better amp head. Honestly I think for the money there are MUCH better amp heads to be had, not that the V3 is bad or anything, but everytime I heard it it's sounded overly bright as well as fizzy. For around 900$ used you could get:

a 5150
Madison Divinity (New actually)
ENGL (probably a Fireball)
Mesa single recto
used JSX

All are better than the V3 in my opinion...if you like any of these amps (and they are all killer) maybe consider going used?
