Amplifier Weight. A Factor?


With majority of the good high-end amplifiers exceeding 100lb, it is actually painful to move them. So, here are questions to all.
Is amplifier’s weight a factor in your amplifier selection?
If you own heavy weight amps (i.e. Krell FPB600/180lb, Levinson 33/365 lb), how do you handle them without scratch?

Everything else being equal (and in reality it never is) the reason that large amps are very heavy is they have very heavy transformers which you really need to get high quality power and things like subterranian bass.

Unless of course your amps have superb, richly toned and articulated bass, reveal hand built quality, output 135 watts into 4 ohms, have *no* transformer, and weigh in at a paltry 35 pounds each. I suppose this is the vanishing equality part of reality you were getting at. :-)
