The logistics of audio

Having finally taken delivery of, but not quite settled on the positioning of my #180 each speakers and seen just *one* Krell MRA amp in the local distributor in it's crate, it got me thinking.

I live in a European style town house (like the brownstone houses in the US I think). I honestly think I have reached the limit of what I can get into my living (listening) room, since it is on the first floor and going up the stairs limits weight to what can be carried by two people. Access through windows is a no go.

In fact I think a pair of Krell MRA cratges might make a good size house for someone. But I certainly couldn't carry it up my stairs with a friend.

Has anyone else reached the weight threshold of their house - or do you guys just take the roofs off your house to install new kit?

:O)
