Did you ever end up owning speakers so heavy and large that you cannot possibly move them?

My Maggie 3.6s aren't that heavy but the nature of the design makes lifting them a challenge for my 64 year-old bones.

That's kinda what I meant about my MG-1's. It isn't that they're all that heavy. Just awkward. (And I've got a few more years on you.)

Yeah, but they weren't Tannoys. My first stereo was a Magnavox console in two pieces with a turntable in one part and record storage in another. It probably was from about 1968 and my mom bought it for me for $30 in 1978, I was 14 at the time. I used the built-in turntable until it died and then hooked up a Realistic turntable to it. It was great because you could actually place the dual units far enough apart to get a good stereo image, unlike most console stereos which were one unit. The speakers were huge and were the envy of all my friends. I had them in a room on the third floor of our house and I played those things LOUD. It sounded like a concert hall. When we moved from Vermont to Georgia in 1982 I had to leave them, too little space on the moving truck and there was no place in the much smaller house we were moving to for them. I just left it there, who knows what happened to it. In actual fact it probably wasn't as good as my memory makes it, but it was better than the Panasonic Thrusters that most of my friends had.

My dad had a similar set, 1955 IIRC. He really liked his big bands at times. I once heard Kate Smith at the basketball court over 1000 feet away.
