Each of my mono blocks weigh 100 pounds. The power conditioner weighs 85 pounds. My turntable weighs 70 pounds. If I need to move the amps, I have a furniture dolly that I slide them onto since it is the same height off the floor. Altogether it does sound fabulous regardless of the weight.

I had a McIntosh AMP, MC2250, 250wpc, 80lbs.
I lifted it out of a low shelf in a tight space, felt a 3rd meniscus tear in my 'bad' knee while lifting.
