How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs)

My friend got a hernia from helping me move a Mark Levenson 336 up 2 flights of winding staircase.

Be wise hire a mover.

Best of luck!

Longer this thread goes, with all good suggestions, more correct geoffkait seems to have been. (Sell the amp, buy a Discman.)

(no matter what they charge, it is worth it)

Dolly with padding and straps or duct tape. I don't know how any household does not have a dolly.

"A keg is a lot bigger and heavier than an amp, and we were able to carry one cross-country with two people just about any distance over just about any terrain."

After a long head-scratching period, one has to admit there are bragging rights in the disclosure above.

Just don’t.

The risk of physical injury to either yourself or the amplifier by far outweighs any imaginary sonic benefits you might be hoping for.

As Clint Eastwood might say, ’A man’s gotta know his limitations.’

If you insist on being hardheaded, and as a fellow audiophile I would understand if in your search for audio nirvana you did, you could always follow in the alleged footsteps of Prince and his piano and employ the services of a giant crane.

There’s an example of someone doing just that here.
