You'd have a back ache... but I'd be dead... so no more veil lifting after that... lol. Discretion is the greater part of valor.

Well u got those bad boys up and running?
Indeed. I had white glove service to get my Salon 2 here. When I tested the smaller and lighter F328Be, it darn near killed me, my wife and youngest son to unpack and pack! These things are just not made to be handled.

Scientist: I know my strength, and I know how much these boxes weigh. I cannot lift them. I need help. I will get on the schedule of someone who can assist me.
Engineer: Dang, the latch on the pickup truck gate is broken. I have to lift these boxes up and over the gate, then lower them to the ground, then get them up a few steps and in the front door. And there is only a 10 year old to assist. Crap, this is going to take me at least 15 minutes
He probably does and we’re not going to hear from him for weeks! He has not left the couch since hooking them up.
I totally get that. I’am sitting in front of mine rite now and thinking damn this sounds really good. Totally subjective opinion and worthless but damn this sounds good.He probably does and we’re not going to hear from him for weeks! He has not left the couch since hooking them up.

Maybe when the people came on Monday to set them up his wife heard him mention how much they cost?
13 g was a true bargain. Good for him.

Yes, that was definitely a killer deal. It definitely brought greatness within reach for many who otherwise would only be able to dream about what $25k speakers could do in their houses/ listening rooms.
But outside of hi-fi nuts the average person would think $13k for speaker is still... nuts.
One of the interesting things is we can say "hey, that $8k amplifier is no better than this $650 amplifier" while then turning around and saying "those $3k speakers are okay, but really you need to get into 5 digits to get something fairly neutral without the need for a lot of DSP." It's all very valid, but again to the outside world it seems a bit off.

No internet for five days... so no streaming music... so no music. I had to stare at the them for 5 days in silence. It was transcendental on it's own. My connection just came back... so it'll be awhile before I finish the story... but I will. Thanks for joining the trip down the rabbit hole.
Whew! I thought you went to Thailand and disappeared in a rabbit hole there for the past few days.
Tragic news. I just experienced sympathetic leaking eye sockets.

Dang -- is that a byproduct of living down a stone road?
OMG, That's just horrible!!!
I remember the year I bought my new 2006 H-D VRod.
I went up to the lakes water skiing and broke my ankle, bad.
It took a couple hours of surgery to put me back together again.
I had to sit on the bench and watch all my bros go riding for
the next 3 months.
That is a unusual Harley Davidson ride for sure. High revving Porsche design. Gas tank not in the normal location etc. I'm surprised you broke tradition and bought this model.
I've had all sort of scooters. As long as they're V-Twins and fast, they interest me.
Had a few Ducati's too.
Yes, Ducati is very intriguing with that desmodromic valvetrain. I was amazed that this could exist when I first discovered it. I was reading about the racing rosters and who is who and what they where riding and along comes this Ducati and is leading races at a fraction of the displacement,. It was mind bending.
One of the koolist was my 1998 Buell M2 Cyclone.
100+ HP, 100flb of Harley-Davidson Sportster engine.
After exhaust change and carbon fiber body parts I
had it to right at 400 lbs.
Talk about a wheelie monster
It far outran my 1994 Ducati Monster!!!

Wowow. I appreciate light weight motorcycles as I used to target ~220 lbs for my 2 stroke dirt bike rides. 400 lbs for a street ride with HP and torque is wild. I would love to try that beauty.
The Monster has more front suspension tech but the Harley Davidson has the power I guess and the Buell has that low center of gravity.
