Maybe off topic....but what makes some of this stuff so heavy? My speakers weigh 130 pounds each with metal bases attached. I understand that...large magnets, lots of structural stuff to keep them rigid etc. But, my amp (250wpc Madrigal Proceed HPA2 (Levinson)) weighs about 100 pounds and looks like most of the bulk is heat sink. But the heat sink is in the back and all the weight is up front. What makes an amp so heavy and in this day and age is that really necessary?
Buying large audio equipment
Hey Guys,
After purchasing some sweet Polk audio tweeters from Amazon, I'm now one step away from completing our "home theatre" system. Only thing left is a nice woofer but as I was about to get it from Amazon, I literally removed it from the cart. The only thing that's holding me back is the size.
I don't purchase large electronics online. Just because of safety reasons and the annoyance that may come with returning or exchange the product etc. I trust Amazon and love how they release an invoice right away but still . . .
Have you guys ever bought any large audio equipment online. Is it a safe bet? Or am I better off just walking into a BestBuy, etc.
