What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
My Jbl 4435’s. 225# each  
Sonic frontiers

Upgrading from Primaluna
Honestly I would keep your front end and go with some more efficient speakers. For years I dealt with power hungry speakers, Infinity IRS Betas, Gammas. Now I have 2 pairs of speakers I rotate into my system. Tekton Moab’s and Jbl 4435’s and could...
