...and this is why ’D’ amplification, given its’ current rate of development and improvements, will prove to be a godsend to aging ’philes. Eventually, their children, grandchildren, friends, and even clueless neighbors will avoid any sentence that begins:
"I hate to ask (utter BS, to begin with), but....could you lend a hand (and most other body parts) to move a couple pieces of my audio gear?"
Those who hadn’t seen the parade of items that had come and gone during their time living next to said ’phile may volunteer to their later regret, although the cost of professional help to regain their previous physical state will do so.
Those that have will default to the prepared ’cop-out’ that will indicate they will be as far away as possible in the next 5 minutes, lasting as long as possible.

My current amp weighs 48.9 lbs.
Multi-channel. 6 - 2 channel amps, A & B outputs, 24 out total.
Mono any or all, drive all or any one individually.
Fully loaded, all 24: 30w.rms, at acceptable specs. That which I can't hear anyway, given current space occupied and equipment applied.
Happy enough.
At 73, I can still pick up 60 lbs. of concrete.
Good to go for now. ;)
