Arg! Thanks for catching it. 'Haste makes waste'; I glanced at the wrong set of dims. To think I once rattled off all this stuff from memory and now apparently can't even notice if what I read is correct. :^(

Interesting! I never had to move any and don't recall ever being all that close to some either, just my 210 Altecs that were [for us anyway] before I cut the back boxes off them, though once the compression chamber was mounted, horn heavily braced I think they wound up about as heavy.

Kloss	The older ones sure are heavy. Mine is one of the very early models. Had 4 big guys on it once none smiled.

I skidded them, lifted up one end on top of the bottom one, moved to the end on the ground, picked it up, and then slid it on top of the first one.

Of course this was more than 30 years ago, and I am 6'3" and was quite strong back then.

I also had a set of Ubangi, and built these double 12 mids (same size mouth as the Ubangi) to fit on top of the Olson bins.

In the end it was all too big to move on a regular basis, and I did a permanent club install and designed my PPSL systems.

(may be moved by one person)

I mean the horns for stereo use, not the granddaughter. Come to think of it I have a pair of granddaughters and that's cool too. I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.

Kloss	Have a pair get a lot of they sound better than my system. Many of those guys have 10-100xs more $ in systems. One a well known collector bought much of the RCA parts I was running he returned and mentioned how great they sound compared to his 600k system. I showed him the EV DH1A and eminence woofers this got lots of head shakes. Its how you set it up he has great gear just no game.
