What Possessed Me to Do This?

We are working on "de-cluttering" our home to list it for sale in April, need to have my "man cave" painted first.  To prepare for the painters' arrival, am boxing up my audio system, moving the components to a "climate controlled" storage unit.  I got the lighter stuff boxed up without assistance.  My son helped me place my 110# power amp on the carpeted floor, flip it over to bolt it to the plywood for the base of the inner carton, eventually getting it boxed and double-boxed, taped up and ready to go.  One of my son's friends is coming over for dinner, to help box up a pair of 122# speakers and a pair of 133# sub woofers.

What possessed me to get equipment that weighs so much?

     I believe we're all well aware that weight is obviously the single most important indicator of quality in audio equipment, just as it absolutely is in selecting our wives and how doctors determine the quality level of our health. 
     Extensive scientific research has empirically established that physical size, color, smell and taste are the other main determinants of audio equipment quality.  Please utilize and prioritize this vital information wisely to determine all of your present and future audio acquisitions.

Tim,

My wife of 40 years is the same weight she was when I first met her...I've become "more robust" since.

ebm,

I couldn't agree more!  I've heard the Sopra's driven by some other amplifiers and to my ears, they didn't seem to pair as well as the McIntosh.  Once I got equipment with such great "synergy", I've stopped changing out this-that-and-the-other, am very satisfied with the system I have.

We are on track to have the house listed by early April!
