Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?


Many higher end preamplifiers come with separate power boxes, but I don't see amplifiers with separate boxes, any idea why this might be?

It sure would make moving monster power amps a bit easier (e.g. the Rogue Zeus is a 210 lbs monolith and a real nightmare to move), but doing it "right" would involve a lot of additional expense for the manufacturer. As others pointed out, the usual reasons to separate out PSU from phono & preamp components don't apply (as much) for a power amp.
