My choice also when more SPL is needed than the Vibroverb can deliver, and it weighs in at 64 lbs with a K130, just 4 lbs heavier than the little Fender. I have had several of these Randalls, one with an E130 which was somewhat heavier. Great steel amps!

I used a Fender dual showman for years and loved it.
Then went to a Session 500 until I couldn’t pick it up anymore.
Then an Evans SE-200.
Now a Quilter Steelaire.
With two hearing aids the amp is not the problem…..lol

I'm currently using a late 70's Princeton Reverb combo amp with a 15" speaker. I really like this amp.

JBL powered speaker, it's light as a feather.
