being medically house bound since Halloween, tv overload, hopping about, I re-discovered a site with some great history:

I had a McIntosh AMP, MC2250, 250wpc, 80lbs.

I lifted it out of a low shelf in a tight space, felt a 3rd meniscus tear in my 'bad' knee while lifting.

I'm in the process of moving, so I feel your pain.

I tweaked my back, but decided to continue moving my stereo equipment. 

Bad idea.

My amp weighs about 85 lbs and it nearly killed me moving it up a flight of steps.

Speakers are about 80lbs each and my sub is over 100lbs. These I got help on.

No fun.
