"Can You Lift Yours?"

One turntable weighs 122 lbs without the platter, another 105 lbs. I have two SS stereo amps that weigh around 90 lbs each and a 300b amp that’s close to 9 lbs a watt. At this point I’m still able to wrangle them all, but the day will come in the not-too-distant future when this will no longer be true, and I rue that day.

Anything weighing less than 50lbs isn't worth listening to, IMO.

elliottbnewcombjr, thank you for the Stewart Hegeman link.

I’ve always wanted to hear his bass cabinet solution or the Shahinian-licensed version.

I picked up a speaker the wrong way, felt a jolt of electricity in my back, involuntarily screamed in pain, but refused to drop the speaker.

I managed to hobble a few steps towards the bed and at the expense of great pain on top of great pain, threw the speaker so that it landed safely on the pillow.

Couldn’t walk for a week, took a month to recover.

For a few years now I’ve been searching for a pair of IMF RSPM MkIV or the much rarer IMF SAMC at a 105 lbs per speaker.

They’ll certainly have to reside on dollies.

my old Soundcraftsman amp weighs a lot. Haven't lifted it onto a scale. But maybe after a nap.....

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.
