[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 125864, member: 52"] Re: Heavy speakers, to fly or use a tripod? Brian, Although there are many crank lifts available that are capable of supporting an 80 pound speaker such as the ones from Global truss (I have some, they are a high quality build and have many nice design features lacking in other crank lifts), lifting an 80 pound speaker on to the stand is more difficult than stacking, and as you go higher, you would need a balanced tilter to angle the speaker down. The stand also occupies a lot of floor space, and unless you would use a pair of stands and a truss (now approaching a Genie Supertower in cost) you can't vertically align the tops with the subs. I'd suggest building some speaker support boxes (which can also double as cord storage) if your subs don't already get the speakers to the height you desire, and ratchet strap the stack together.
