A heavier amp does often equate a more powerful amp or a more robust power supply. In this day and age of everything getting cheaper (and I don't mean less expensive), weight can be an indicator. Now we can probably argue that is may be a different class of amplifier or may be digital, but apples to apples, weight is a good starting point.

It's actaully critical responses like yours that have me avoid this subforum. Someone ask for opinion, someone gives it. Then everyone has to jump in with a counter point about how they are right. It's ridiculous. I'll be hanging out in the discrete section.

Have fun talking about and reminiscing over a NAD receiver from years ago. I mean clearly, if we are going to talk about and rate a manufacture on how good their product used to be, then I guess you'll find me looking for Zenith TVs and Pioneer MultiDisk CD players. ----yawn----
