I was able to unpack my mc302, unbolt it from the pallet and carefully, very carefully, walk it onto the bottom shelf of the Salamander stand, which was butted up against the shipping box, and then slid the rack into it's usual spot where amp, preamp, etc. currently reside. I did this because no one was around to help and I was antsy. The shipping weight on this is 131 pounds and the amp weight is 98. I'm still amazed I got it unpacked and in place in one piece and didn't tear up my back doing it or damage the amp. The wife thought I was nuts. I probably was. Then I fired it up and she was all smiles as was I. Best of luck with the 601's. I can imagine you'll be smiling a lot too!
