Well, we can hope no one's listening because if you're not 100% right

Its a wonder nobody has sued ARC for causing spinal injuries.
Maybe their intended market is football players and body builders. Or
maybe they offer an accessory crane.
accessory crane. *I like that.
it's like 'the old days' when moving a console color TV set was about
like moving a piano.
and you've just given yet ANOTHER reason for the use of a switching
power supply in lieu of a giant hunk of iron and copper windings that
probably costs more, doesn't handle 250VAC power line voltage, and
perhaps weighs too much for one person to move safely without a crane.
A pair of my 300W monoblocs weighs a total of 100Kg, or 220 lbs.
Each channel has 2 chasiss, one for audio amp and one for PSU and max
weight of each chassis is 25Kg.
So one does not need a crane, forklift, or be a footbrawler who could
easily steal the Statue of Liberty and add it to his backyard garden
area.
