I loved my old TE - wish the weight wasn't such an issue. Expect back issues if you choose to buy this:

I've got a Genz Benz 6x10 that weighs 9 stones! Great sound but not very practical. Every time I wheeled it into a pub, you could see people's faces drop!

Yeah those BFC cabs look like monsters! Bet hooked up they sound great though.

A few years ago in my naivety and on impulse, I bought an pretty beat up Ampeg 810 cab on the cheap via eBay- thats without checking the weight of the things first. Big mistake. Thought I was the dogs b's on my way to get it and I didn't understand why the guy selling it was so happy to see me.... when the suspension of my old volvo dropped by 3inches upon its first loading in, I understood then.

I used it about 3 times out of the house after that. (second floor flat keep in mind!) Lesson learnt! It does sound great though and I still can't bring myself to part with it :)

Recently got into old Trace gear, even though its all fairly heavy- its still more practical than that old 810. To me, Trace amp and cabs feel so well built and that they could take a beating no matter what.

I had a BLX80, 1x10. It was made with plywood and LOTS of it. It weighed 25 feckin' kilos.
25!
for a ten inch combo.
The idea of moving this thing reminds of those documentaries where they attempt to re-enact the building of Stonehenge.
