This really ought to be in the audiophoolery thread, but the d'Agostino Relentless 1600 monoblock has binding posts to connect the power https://dandagostino.com/products/relentless-epic-1600-monoblock-amplifier

6,400W into 2 ohms.

Quarter of a ton each, for half a ton per stereo pair.

Feeble.

The Analog Domain Apollos can manage 8000W into 4 Ohms!

I can't find verified measurements for that model, but here are some for another amp that costs similarly crazy money: https://www.stereophile.com/content/dan-dagostino-momentum-m...oblock-power-amplifier-measurements

A cursory glance suggests that the above amp is tens of dB worse in terms of measured performance than the £3K AHB-2 amp from Benchmark (which can be bridged if more oomph needed).

Note the lack of ESD (wrist straps are not en vogue) and the meter movements sitting in egg boxes (not the sort of part you can blast debris out of with compressed air).
