@snapsc Agreed. I’ve settled on my endgame speakers; ATC 50 actives. They came in very large factory boxes (saved) plastic wrapped on a substantial pallet. Hired piano movers to first move them upstairs and then assist manhandling them to install Gaia l footers and help position them correctly in their ’final’ resting place.
I dread a future repair or reconfiguration of the system and the effort involved. Lots to be said about manageable pieces.
