I was all set to get the 802's but I'm concerned about the weight . The 802's are 176 lbs each and the 803's are 98 lbs. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle to 802's if I want to move them to optomize the sound or sell them in the future. All reviews I've read about the 802's are terrific. Should my concern about the weight be reason to purchase the 803's?

I don't think you should have too much of a concern on the weight. It's not as if you are dead lifting them. A gentle twist will allow you to move them to any location. -
I should have mentioned that my floor is ceramic tile. I will use B&W spikes.Comment

Hardware stores often sell (at least mine does) flat trays with small wheels on them. Basically you llft one corner and slide the tray under, and then the same with the back side or each corner. They are only a few dollars each.Comment

I have the 803 Nautilus and in a room 9W 10H and 29L, I don't know how one could consider the 802s now.
But one day in a bigger home with a bigger room....
But I digress.Comment

The 802's have built-in wheels. You can move them around no problem. You will need two people if you need to carry them upstairs though.Comment

Silly question really - what's the real weight of the 1067? Online says it's 54 lbs, downloaded manual says 44.97 lbs. Before I buy, trying to figure out if my Bello stand can take the weight with all the other components, or if I need to bring out the concrete reinforcements

Hi guys: As I am thinking more and more to upgrading to separates, I came to a question of whether should I consider a 2 Ch RB 1080 or RB-1070. I initially thought of just purchasing 1070 as it is USD 300 cheaper and I think 130 W per channel is more than enough. However, I know that 200 per channel...
