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. If you can settle for less power, and don't need really deep bass, you're less likely to get a hernia. I have both heavy monos and a lite 35 watter and for the power I need the only real difference tonally is the impact in the bass below 30hz. FWIW YMMV.
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?
