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.

The weight and size of Class D is indeed appealing.  So I tried a pair pf PS Audio M700's for my new basement system.  I thought they sounded nice.
Then to compare , I lugged my Classe CA-2300 downstairs.  There was no comparison, to me.  I sent the M700's back and got the PSAudio BHK-250.
It is worth its weight, again to me.  thanks, Ken

Interesting...care to share the monsters' names?
I suppose there are good and bad heavy amps.
both my Classe CA-2300 and my PSAudio BHK-250 are 
amazing.  I don't lift them much, and I don't need mono blocks with either amps.  My speakers are Revel Studio II's and B&W 802N.
thanks again,  Ken
