Bloated speakers/weight wise


Hopefully most of us are keeping to our new years diet resolutions. But what about speakers, can they be overweight too? How many of us enjoy shoving around a speraker that weighs in at MORE than we do? I mean really is it really necessary to have speakers that weigh in at more than 150 lbs? I might go as high as 175, but even that is in need of a diet. What do you get more from a 150 lb speaker that i don't get from my 70 lb speaker.
So who are the haaviest speakers on the planet? list some brands and corresponding weiths.
I know Legacy and Wilson's are up there, any others?

I sold something, and delivered it, to a guy who has a pair of these www.magico.net/product_reference.html he said they weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 lbs. I can't find any specs on their website.
I finally found a weight on the Magico's, sort of. The website says, "they weigh nearly half a ton".
Did I just see Ecruz mention a speaker at 1/2 ton. Well of course its not home model

Actually they are home speakers, Magico Reference. I saw, and heard them in an A'gon member AudioEzra's listening room.
