Had to move a couple of months ago. I found that at 63 yo and with varying stages of arthritis in joints, that I could no longer move some of my gear by myself. Had to hire a couple of movers to assist me.
Bummer.
I've got a 75 pound power amp which I moved twice and injured my back both times. The bass module sections of my tower speakers weigh 100 pounds each. I couldn't even begin to move them, outside of sliding them around the floor. A few years ago I moved those puppies by myself.
Guess I need to take this into consideration in the future. Maybe swap some things out for lighter gear. Not considering buying anything too heavy. Maybe go with Class D power amps - they are getting fantastic reviews nowadays. Or just stay put in my new place.
