Phil Jones bass amps use 5" speakers.

Another option might be a Trace Elliot Elf head but I’m not sure they have been around long to gauge reliability?

Forgot to mention my setup is a Working Mans 1x10 combo plus matching 1x10 cab.
Barefaced 1x10” cabs are astoundingly light and efficient, although not that cheap.

Also the s/h value of the current setup is next to nothing so selling that on & buying a new rig isn’t really an option.
I was also a bit surprised that the amp is only 80W/100W, although that does explain the transformer size. There isn't even a fully-enclosed box section containing the chassis, as I expected.
Unless there's a different model? This spec says it's 32lbs - https://reverb.com/item/4879690-swr-workingman-s-10-combo-bass-amp-1998
Given the low power of the amp you may be better to sell the combo, buy a small high-powered head and replace the speaker in the cab with a higher-powered one - you can easily get neodymium 10s in the 200W range.

A 100W amp that weighs more than 32lb is certainly too heavy by modern standards - my 500W Promethean 1x10" is just under 30lb I think, and that's not even with a neodymium speaker.
