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?

How about the Montana WAS at 520 pounds each?

The approximate shipping weight for a pair of Wilson Alexandria X-2's is 2,286 pounds.

These are way too heavy for me. In fact, as I've gotten older, I've found myself gravitating towards lighter speakers (and amplifiers too). No more struggling with 100+ pound monsters for me.

Maybe it's because I don't listen to much heavy metal anymore. :-)

Cheers,
John

Easy now Paul. That 2286 lbs/pair is shipping weight. I'm sure they are absolutely svelte when you take the X-2's out of their crates. :-)
