They're rated to around 35 pounds each, and with the power transformer in front, the '600's weight distribution is probably about 65% front and 35% rear.. (Sounds like an old-Detroit-iron muscle car.) Have Orea Indigos under the rears but will be getting 4 more Bordeauxes(sp?) for the rears.. Have also redistributed my various stainless-steel, nonmagnetic dampingbars about the amps; the top of the loboy rings a good bit.
Have installed a set of BRIMAR ECC88/6DJ8s.. PCs are AQ Dragons, speakercables are AQ RobinHood Silvers, IC is Neotec top-of-the-line, UPOCC-silver with N'tec connectors.
The amps sure do sound really great.

  such really is unnecessary with toroidal transformers.

      sophomoric humor fails with me.
What's the third tube? - Sondek 11:13:52 08/04/24 (1)
Rectifier? What type?

Reminds me of my old Counterpoint hybrid amp, but on steroids.

Also, FWIW, I've been using 6DJ8 types for nearly forty years and I've switched all of them in my system to the JJ E88CC. Premium, selected tubes for ~$40 each. They've pushed out the Tele's.
