A '68 Twin Reverb with the JBL's is over 80lbs, and with EV SRO's over 100 lbs. The JBL's were about 12-13 lbs each. SRO's about 20 lbs each. It was brutal. I lived on the top floor of a 4 story brownstone skinny and tall building with a steep stairway. The Twin was a nightmare to carry.
I love the Henriksen Bud 10, and so does my back. It weighs what ONE of the EV SRO's did. 1/5th of that old Twin Reverb. That's quite astonishing.

I plan to buy one b/c I expect to be busier in '24 and need something more versatile and portable (read: lighter) than what I currently have.
Only complaint: the price went up, not down. They're now around $1,100 new. Not the greatest marketing strategy. Henriksen could lose business...

Will just comment that while I love the portability of my henriksens they can’t compare to my Carr amps or my vintage fenders in terms of tone.

For small and light, it's hard to beat a Quilter Soundblock US and a Toob Metro. I think it's also hard to beat the sound. You can buy both, delivered to your door, for under $600US. If you prefer a combo, I think it's hard to beat a DV Mark Little Jazz for the price. It might not be quite the same sound, but the price is ~1/4 that of the Henriksen. Henriksen makes a fine amp, no doubt, but I'm not sure it gives the best bang for the buck. It should be noted, however, that one drawback of the two options I mentioned is that they are both single channel amps, so no mic input, if that's a necessity. There are devices that can get around that, however.

I cut my losses and sold it to a music store for probably half of what I paid for it.
Cool if it works for you, though. Different strokes...

Muddy is not a word I would use to describe the Toob Metro. But gear choice is a very subjective thing, so use whatever you prefer.

I like the hair the Lux gives when needed too. I have zero interest in anything else and will go to my grave playing these old heavy Fender tube amps. There's just nothing like them. They're only heavy for the 2 seconds they take to load on my cart, no big deal.
