When do you think they will invent inflatable amplifiers?  I'd buy one!  No size issues, no weight issues!  Could you imagine breaking down after a gig. . . just pull the plug to let the air out, roll it up, and away you go!

Speaking of professionals, I saw an inflatable singer in a book store once...  :0

While it's not inflatable, Crate has come out with the next best thing ... the Powerblock.  A VERY small amp, think about 3 VHS tapes, delivering 75 watts per channel stereo or 150 mono.  And it actually sounds fairly decent!  I bought one to use as a back up (around $200).  My biggest complaint is no reverb, but it does have an effects loop, so I wire in my old Alesis mini nanoverb, (about the size of 1/2 a VHS tape).  The Powerblock also has RCA ins to attach a CD player, mp3 player, or other device for jamming along.  Now all I need is a high quality miniature speaker cab!  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

Well here are some inflatable speakers... although I doub't if they'd be able to power some of your rigs.
