I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear

I'm 65 now but still in good shape. Still my 110 lb ayon amp is too heavy/awkward for me to move by myself.  it is for sale.  My decware is about 45 lbs.  I'm having a new amp built. It will weigh about 120 lbs so we spit it into 2 chassis.  I still like big transformers and chokes so it is hard to design those to be light.

On speakers, if you stick with box shaped speakers, it is pretty easy to move them around without actually picking them up.  One of my hobbies is machining and I moved a 2500 lb lathe and 2000 lb mill into my garage by myself.  Like an Egyptian.  Let physics be your friend.  But that is hard to do on a tube amp.

I am 65 and workout, but I brought a JL Audio F110 Sub (75 pounds and bulky, I wanted the F112, but my room was too small). I almost didn't get it up a small flight of stairs, if I had gotten F112 I would had have to hire someone to bring it in the house. I have the 110 in a good spot and it's not moving again. I'll probably sell it with the house!  Sounds so much better then the old, Velodyne lightweight one I had, so well worth it.

I'm 67 and generally have 100+ pounds of cat litter stored in the trunk of my car.

I begrudgingly bring it in as needed.

The heaviest piece of HiFi gear I own (besides Target HR speakers stands) is a Pilot SA-232 power amplifier.

I had a gigantic 90lb KR Audio some years back that cured me from wanting heavy gear ever again. I max out at 50lbs these days and none of my current gear even weighs that.

Earlier this year sold 110lb speakers and bought kef blade 2 (80 lbs & easy to maneuver).

Anyhoots, who else factors in the tonnage of the gear they buy? Any other 'lightweight' fans like me? 

Same here.  Went with the KEF Blade 2 Meta and monoblock Benchmark AHB2 amps.  No more back stress..................or ear stress.
