An amp chassis that has proper mass and weight, ime, has better resolve of details, based on minimizing acoustic and mechanical resonance and vibration. A perfect example is the application of Dynamat extreme to the top lid, sides and bottom of the chassis ( internally ), and also an application of silicon sealant to capacitors, and, some other components. Night and day improvement. Saw a video of the Elac Alchemy amplifier, by it's designer, Peter Madnick. I can only imagine the sonic improvement of what another $500. worth of chassis weight and mass would allow that amplifier to develop into. Enjoy ! MrD.
Again the topic of weight of amps
I see this has been covered but not recently.
I have had a few amps in the 100+ pound range.
I liked them enormously but I am in a small space and am tired of dealing with these behemoths when I need to move them around and the real estate they take up. They were all wonderful in their way and I would like to have kept them but for their immobility. But can one find true love after such heavy weights with a feather weight 55 pounder?
Have technological advances in 2019 made such a thing possible? I had a pass 350.8 which I loved but you can't keep a Stonehenge rock in an apartment living room.
