Tube amp build (s)

[JohnH]

And who thought a studio on the second floor without a lift was a good idea????

Well, to be fair it is an artist's studio/gallery, so they probably weren't expecting people to drag amps and cabs to their exhibitions, ha ha ha

You could always swap out the heavy V30s (4.7kg each) for some neodymium magnet speakers. I like the Celestion Neo Creambacks. Weighs almost nothing in comparison (1.9kg each). Make two 1x 12” cabs and put the V30s in these as they’d be far more manageable. That would make the cab 5.6kg lighter, a considerable weight saving. Though if the cab chassis is really heavy, then you probably wouldn't notice much difference. Just a thought as you’ll probably be buying one new speaker anyway.

Good thinking Simon, I'll check them out
