Pro amps

There seems to be a lot of discussion on some other forums regarding pro amplifiers. Seems that most people that took the risk and bought one have no regrets and will never look back at "home theater" amps again. Most of them say that they wish they had discovered pro amps earlier as it would have saved a lot of headaches experimenting with HT amps. The general consensus is that upon first hearing one installed in their system they are completely floored and cannot believe the quality of sound from these amps. Crown amps are one example. They cite extreme amounts of current yet some of the amps weigh all of 26 lbs. How can that be? Anybody have any thoughts on this?

I've heared crown, under less than optimal conditions, but it definatly sounded pretty good.

I got the impression it was less refined than high end stereo amps.certainly had a lot of impact and slam though.

cannot comment on weight of these. Could they be digital amps? Digital generates less heat, therefore needs less heatsinks, and can seriously cut down on weight and size
