"Can You Lift Yours?"

I would imagine most of us who have been into high end audio for decades own a hand truck, “sliders”, and a fulcrum to tip heavy weights so you can put the sliders under them. Also, we have brains.

I remember a few years ago I bought a large screen TVs. My partner is disabled. So, I alternatively placed books under it to bring it up to the height to tip it up into position.

The older I get, the more thought I must put into doing things safely. Or just pay someone to do it for me. I believe that is why I have been saving for retirement for the last 40 years.

My McInthosh MC462 weighs 148lbs, me, my wife and my son moved if into its current home in a rack 😆

It took every last bid of strength I had to put my Pass amp in the box before calling UPS.  Now the first thing I look at when buying any new component is how much it weighs.

Something is inversely/perversely going on.

double the wattage = only a bit louder

double wattage again = only a bit louder

sooo, why not: double the wattage, only a bit heavier?

"Sounds like a job for:  CLASS D !  "

😏....Time to define what 'a bit heavier' would mean....built-in casters?

A 'beefy' pair of handles?  Removable, of course....must keep up appearances... ;)

Fork-lift channels at the bottom of the chassis?

"Heavy-lift helicopter service available at a modest charge...."

"...no, decided to go 'all-in' this time.....2kw mono a side....ought to do it...."

"50 thousand watts of funky!" (A refrain from a sound awhile back...)

Restraint be damned....*L*
