Glad you got a good test drive with it! That was my intention!!

Oh, yeah, she's a heavy bitch. They go fro sale on the used market very regularly for that reason.

People buy one, gig with it a while, then are sick of draggin' it around!

Seriously, if you are near the 2k mark you should contact Ben Fargen. He makes his own line of cabs and a custom line.

Something else for folks to consider with regards to amp weights is swapping out for neodymium speakers.
