450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier

A 10 watt amp is fine as long s you have the appropriate speaker match, amp-speaker really is a marriage. I think you'll be very happy with the VAC Renaissance , those are timeless excellent sounding amplifiers. There're good and heavy due to big premium transformers and a very stiff power supply section.Good choice!

Let me tell you, JMcgrogan2-If you get a Ren 30/30, be VERY careful moving it onto and off of a shelf. It not only weighs 100 lbs, the weight is NOT evenly distributed. Easy to have an accident and shipping it back for a repair is $$. Great amp, tho, if your speakers are right for it.

I heard those Boulders at a club event - into top of the line Wilsons....very disappointing.

I hear ya Swampwalker, probably a lot like my BAT VK-75SE was. The weight is all in the transformers. I have to admit, as I get older the weight is a turn off. I'm struggling enough moving around my current 85 pound amp.

I don't think I would ship to VAC for repairs anyway. I'm lucky to have a very good local guys in Bob and Gary Backert of RHB Sound Dezign.

The 30/30 is probably not quite that heavy - VAC lists weight in-box. I weighed my 70/70 - 93 lbs. Still heavy, but not like the CAT amps - 192 lbs. per chassis. I helped my friend lift his - Jeeeesus.
