A large part of the amp disappearing/getting smaller too is the fact most kids are just sitting in their rooms recording instead of playing out. It was very revealing to me when I started looking online for used equipment to get back to analog gear. I wanted a 2x12 for my head but they were a bit scarce and ridiculously priced. However, 4x12 cabs were everywhere and under $200! Marshall 4x12 were a dime a dozen used, but looked forever for a half decent 2x12 that was in my price range.
