My budget prosound 400 watt power amp weighs 14Kg. I would be suspicious of a 300 watt amp that weighs 5Kg too.
how do you get any decent sound out of a featherweight amp. The young generation is being fed this load of hooey by the likes of future shop best buy and radioshack

Plenty of great new amps around that weigh a whole lot of nothing.
For instance, the new NAD D3020 sounds great, and weighs 3 lbs.
Yes, but the 3020 puts out 30 watts, it's the claimed wattage COMBINED with the weight that's funny.
Everybody do it:

And they even have a picture to prove it
They make phones now that you can carry in your pocket!

Sound quality and weight is not correlated. This myth needs to be busted.
You do, with class D amp and switch mode power supply. Look at gaming computers power module - less than four pounds delivers over 1000W. This is where recent advances in power electronics mostly happened.But weight and power maybe are, you can't have lots of power with a puny transformer can you?

Only with the optional diffuser. A few bucks more, but it makes all the difference.
