Again the topic of weight of amps

I see this has been covered but not recently.
I have had a few amps in the 100+ pound range.
I liked them enormously but I am in a small space and am tired of dealing with these behemoths when I need to move them around and the real estate they take up. They were all wonderful in their way and I would like to have kept them but for their immobility. But can one find true love after such heavy weights with a feather weight 55 pounder?
Have technological advances in 2019 made such a thing possible? I had a pass 350.8 which I loved but you can't keep a Stonehenge rock in an apartment living room.

mapman"Class D amp technology enables amps to be much more efficient and much smaller."

Now as soon as they can get them to sound like music and compete with real amplifiers intended, designed, and manufactured for use in Music Reproduction Systems then they will really have something.

Class d is ok for subwoofer amplifiers at least until you compare them to something better such as Bryston or Pass.

noble100"It’s funny how outdated you both sound...You both obviously just lack the experience of listening to a good class D amp...with no experience listening to good class D amps, you’re both willing to spread outdated and no longer accurate information...Hopefully, both of you will be able to listen to a good class D amp soon"

What is funny is how you are convinced you know what I have listened to when in fact you have no idea what I have listened to and simply can not believe that what you like is not what others like and that many people think Class D has a long way to go before it can equal the consistent, reliable, superior performance of most conventional designs and I base that observation and conclusion upon listening to a variety of Class D amplifiers.
