I've got a 3rd torn miniscus in my knee that happened moving my 80lb McIntosh 2250,

Handling Heavy Amps
There are several amps I’m interested in possibly purchasing but I’m dissuaded because of their weight. I’ve had lower back issues so I need to be careful. I live alone. Even if my wife was still alive she would not have been able to help much. Also Children live far. I see that many of you have these 60-100 pound behemoths and I wonder how do you manage. If I buy from my dealer he’ll load it in my SUV. However when I get home it will be difficult to get it out and onto the garage floor where I can place it on my handcart. Then when I get it next to my rack I need to maneuver it out of the box and up onto the rack. I guess I would need to see if my dealer would deliver it and place it on the rack. Probably for a fee. So that may work. But then if I need to paint, move furniture, resell the unit whatever I would need help. I think I can handle up to 40lbs. So how do you handle these amps? Is it a concern for you? I’m spoiled by my Benchmark 12 lb AHB2. It’s also the reason I’ve been investigating Class D amps.

...good luck with that, elliott.... Most teens will either ignore you, or respond as if you're someone morally reprehensible......esp. when you finally get around to 'what you're after'''... Then, they'll be sure about it...*L* I've had better rsvp's when I bust their butts for smoking trashpot.... "...y'know, guys....It's none of mine, but if I got smurfed by my source with those clippings, he'd be downside up in a dumpster...." Street cred, y'all....😎 |
@elliottbnewcombjr The FDA has approved a prosthetic meniscus replacement now so knee replacement doesn't have to be a thing. Thought you should know; I apologize if you already did. Good Luck with it! |
thanks ralph, I had 2 meniscus surgeries, then the 3rd tear, I felt it happen, same knee, when I picked that 80 lb amp up from a lower shelf. They had a look, said considering two prior surgeries, they wern't so sure what they were looking at. Try rehab. I did, didn't work, I sleep with a pillow between the knees, I may have someone else have a look. |
