Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Should we be buying SS amps by the pound?

Seems that the higher up I go on the food chain (read more bucks), the heavier the amps seem to get. Whether this is a function of power supply, capacitors, heavy guage metal for resonance control/aesthetics or just plain chic, the amps just get heavier. Case in point, I'm looking at a pair of mono MBL's that weigh 260 Lb.s A PIECE. Is this just the ludicrous extreme, or is this how it works?
