Bloated speakers/weight wise

Hopefully most of us are keeping to our new years diet resolutions. But what about speakers, can they be overweight too? How many of us enjoy shoving around a speraker that weighs in at MORE than we do? I mean really is it really necessary to have speakers that weigh in at more than 150 lbs? I might go as high as 175, but even that is in need of a diet. What do you get more from a 150 lb speaker that i don't get from my 70 lb speaker.
So who are the haaviest speakers on the planet? list some brands and corresponding weiths.
I know Legacy and Wilson's are up there, any others?

In classical mechanics, acceleration (a) is related to force (F) and mass (m) by way of Newton's second law:
F = m * a
a = F/m
As you can see, if the mass [speaker weight] increases, than the acceleration or movement of the speaker DECREASES.

Some butt busters:

Rockport Hyperions
Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams

If someone ever gave me a pair of either, believe me, I would find a way to move 'em :-)
