I now have the lightest amp I have owned since the late 1970’s: 100 pounds. Can I lift it? Well no. But I can move it, put it in a box, or what ever I want to do. I use my problem solving skills, sliders, levers, a hand cart and can do what ever I want with it. Same true with my heavier amps.

I had a McIntosh AMP, MC2250, 250wpc, 80lbs.
I lifted it out of a low shelf in a tight space, felt a 3rd meniscus tear in my 'bad' knee while lifting.
