Richard Hunter is pretty high on the Crate VC508 with some mods, or even having Ron Holmes do some mods if you want to spend a little more. The links are at:

Then there's the Pignose 40 or was it 60 that folks said is pretty good for harp and not too big. I'd search the archives for info on both of these alternatives, don't rely on my dim memory. 

Or...get a harp commander and a cheap $60 keyboard amp (as richard recommends also) and then you'll have a solution for when you are traveling light and just want to use the PA.
