Remote Power Switch for Wheelchair Bound

I have a fellow living at my place confined to a wheel chair with MS. Right now, the amp is hooked plugged into the wall, whereas the other components are hooked up to a Monsterpower 2000. He can reach the componentry, but the amp is on the floor and hard to reach. I'd like to install a remote switch near the other components that turns the amp on. This could mean creating a surge protector with a relay, I don't know. I'm looking for ideas as to how to do this. Thanks much.

If I'm not mistaken, Parasound makes a device like that. I think it is called the "Scamp" and is made for power amps. They show up on ebay from time to time. Don

If its a solid state amp, it is best to leave it on 24/7 anyway.

could you install a switched dedicated line for the amp? You could mount a standard wall switch to turn the circuit on and off.
