End of the World system


So here's a question.   You and your loved ones are the last one's on earth. Your fully stocked with a cabin in the woods, renewable energy, and food for a life time.  The roads are out, and there's no place to get gas.

The remains of a high-end store are 20 miles away. What do you bring home, assuming you have to actually carry it back?

So it's fun to see this thread has been resurrected, but the point I was trying to make is, if money was no object but weight and size means you have to carry it back (sorry your home has the only power source) how would you scale back your need for a music system?

So moving into the store and 200 lb speaker systems that are custom order only are right out.

I'm the OP and I get to do this.  < grin >

I really like the Mytek combo, since I have a Brooklyn already. This lets me pick up a big heavy turntable and put sculptures on it, since I have no idea how to set one up. ;-)
Well, a fine mess of a thread I started here! :)

The goal was kind of to ask how you’d optimize for size, and not care about cost. What happens to your buying choices when there’s no one around to brag to, money doesn't matter and you have to physically work to get it.

The McIntosh 611’s weigh 95 lbs each. 20 miles... with a wheel barrel I suppose it’s technically do-able. Probably best to get the preamp first, because maybe by the time you are done with that run you will have changed your mind. :)

Personally, I'd be looking for an integrated, perhaps Class D but I haven't heard any recently.

Also, where would I go to loot DVD's anymore??
If we have well-dressed zombies, we should plasticize them and use them for furniture.
OK guys, key part was : No roads, no gas.

Should have been explicit in saying, your log cabin has no music in it yet. :)
You have too much time on your hands


Yeah, since I'm not a first responder or essential worker, I don't really need an excuse for this right now.
