Hi Rick,
My Schiit Gumby DAC weighs 11 lbs and I am using 3 MD (medium-density) 2" X 2" EVPs. As for the weight range that EVPs support, there are different models with different densities and sizes to support everything from about 1lb. up to 304 lbs. If you need to support more than that, Norm can make custom EVPs for you.

From A/V Roomservice:
EVP Loading- A single EVP will perform properly when loaded within the following weight:
2" square Light Density 1-3 lbs. (0.45 - 1.36 kg).
2” square Medium Density: 2-5 lbs. (0.9-2.26 kg)
2” square Heavy Density: 3-19 lbs. (1.3-8.6 kg)
4” square Medium Density: 8-20 lbs. (3.6-9 kg)
4” square Heavy Density: 12-76 lbs. (5.4-34.4 kg)
