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?

ther are new ICE Powered class D amps that can put out over 500 watts @8 ohms and weigh only 7.5 pounds, plus it is only a bit over $2000 for a pair of Mono Blocks, Ric Shultz is sending some for review and a friend of mine ordered a pair to replace his 2000 watt Krell, should be very interesting to hear his impressions.

Sbrtoy, those ICE amps I mentioned earlier are A/B'D using Bel Canto Ref 1000 amps so your opinion may be way off base, it sure will be interesting to see what these amps can do, and to think they way 7.5lbs each!
