Amplifier Weight. A Factor?

My Bel Canto Monos weigh 13 pounds each, put out 500 watts, and definitely have the bass extension and impact....new technologies will someday make the monster amps antiques...

Yes the pounds sound.

LOL! I have both 33's and 33H. The 33H are easier to move however the 33's have casters built into the bases which makes rolling them a breeze.

After 35+ years involved in this hobby/sickness/addiction, I have found that I am most musically satisfied with "big iron" amps. YMMV!

Best,

Paul :-)

i have had any number of heavy pieces of gear around over the last 12 years in the hobby. many times this gear comes in big wooden crates. for a slender whimp like me dealing with logistics of moving gear around was sometimes daunting. then you add in the audio jewelry aspect and the effect on resale value of any scratches.

my solution was three years ago to buy a couple of Piano dolly's. my parts department where i work uses these to move engine blocks and transmissions around. i had them get me a couple from their supplier...they were about $100 each. they have padded carpets at either end.

you can typically move almost anything with 2 of these.

BTW, i have owned lots of heavy gear and shipped lots of it in and out. you can easily hurt yourself if you are not careful.

Mike, Thanks for the great tips on the piano dolly.
