Yes, I do work out, but even still, it was a chore. Fortunately these speakers are packed extremely well, I took them out of the box, they are wrapped and taped up and reinforced with heavy cardboard/particleboard? encased in Styrofoam.
I was able to move them up the stairs lifting with my legs and take them up step by step... was not fun, especially when I had to replace a speaker that arrived defective.
Modular is the way to go, but damn...they sound so good
