I will have to agree with Jim on this one. Weight may not mean much to you now, but wait a few years. you will get rid of those old Peaveys, spend a little money and go to a modern lightweight system that will kick just as much as what you have now. The stuff used today doesn't require everything we used in the old days. But I know how hard it is to let go of the old ways. Technology changes much faster than we are willing to.

Why would I get rid of something that sounds good to something that sounds mediocre? I have heard & even used the lightweight stuff (speakers) & IMO it doesn't compare to good wooden built boxes - never will. I'm sorry the lightweight plastic box speakers do not sound as good and no I will never have them in my arsenal - even when i'm old & decrepit!
The only new lightweight pieces I may consider is in the amp factor. The Crown XTi series or the QSC PLX series. Amps HAVE come along way since the 200 pound boat anchors!
