Need a "PHYSICALLY" smaller and lighter amp to replace my BAT VK-200 at 70lbs


I need  a few recommendations for a smaller and lighter basic amp that weighs 30 lbs or under and is 100-150 RMS  I hate to sell my BAT VK-200 but at almost 70 lbs it is a monster to move or even to clean on the bottom shelf of the component rack.

Therefore, has class "D" amps improved in the last 7 years?. I owned a pair of mono blocks made by Vampire or red Devil (?) about 10 years ago. They sounded good for about 3 months,, but morphed into an edgy, bright sound. 

Nu-Prime seems to get good reviews. Also, the Benchmark AHB2 amp was given   "A" rating in Stereophile's "Recommended Components) 2017.   The amp is 100RMS.

It is solid state, but not class "D"    Dimensions:are  11Wx 3.8 H x 9.3 D  It weighs 12.5 lbs   My pre-amp is a Conrad Johnson PV14SE and the speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7 

Thank you, S.J.

Run a search of "Merrill Audio Taranis" in the A'Gon forums.

Think it's around $2.5K (you didn't state budget).

I read about it being used with Gallo 3.5's (somewhere) and found it to be an interesting unit.

My next amp is the Benchmark AHB2 for my office system,

https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/reviews

I may get 2 of them just in case I get bigger speakers in the office. These amps supposedly can play with large speakers running as monoblocks. They have a 30 day free trial so you got nothing to lose. I will be using the Benchmark DAC2 HGC (my pre-amp) with these amps

Thanks to all who have responded so far  Your recommendations are helpful

 I don't mean to be silly but have you tried using a Swifter wand cleaner to get between very narrow spaces?
