Again...don't drink and post... Don't let your friends drink and post. :)

I didn't answer your question... No, I have never liked a speaker then reconsidered when I picked it up because it was light. But I do remember once not liking a pair of near field studio monitors and picking them up to go "oh yeah...no wonder these suck" because they weighed next to nothing.

Of course, marketing being marketing, I'm sure there are some speakers out there that are made heavier just to be heavy and didn't really benefit from the extra 20 or 30 pounds except on the spec sheet.

But I'm also sure there are more cases of it weighs what it weighs because that's the way the engineer made it.
