I must confess this is a topic i've thought of raising myself especially when people have changed their setups.
Then within a short space of time, they put another post up saying they can't seem to find a sound that they're
after or what they previously had.
(disclaimer: this isn't aimed at any individual by the way ).
I've had my amp & cab setup now for nigh on 10 years now the only thing i've really changed is that
i've taken out a 1 x 15 cab to replacing it with a 2x10 for tonal reasons, rather than weight.
I know my sound inside out & i wouldn't compromise any of that just to save a few xtra pounds / kilos in weight,
not mention the xtra £'s spent to get something lighter to find that you have to start the same process of trying to get near the sound you had with the heavier gear.
I can fully understand the weight for health reasons, but for some convienience reasons i'm not so sure.
There's always 2 sides to an arguement but thats my 2 pence worth.
Ps: Then on the other hand i may be lucky cos when i brought my Swr's at the time, i guess they were considered
lightweight & compact, but now weighing at 55lbs each they're considered heavy !!!
