stevem2 said Speaking of "impossible to lift", how much do these monsters weigh?
North of 100 pounds, I think. Even with the P10 on the second-to-bottom shelf on my rack it was a struggle. After I sheared off the footpads on the P10 trying to put it in place I devised a way to use a 7/8 inch aluminum dowel a foot long to roll under the P10 or BHK250 and use the weight-bearing capacity of the shelf while sliding in the P10/BHK so I wouldn't strain my back. It works out nicely. Handles? We don't need no steenking handles! Very low-tech concept, too, it's only been around for centuries!

My back and I share your concern. The handles (2 each front and back) make it look like it may be a two-man operation to move it.

Somebody start a poll…handles, yes or no, or don’t care either way.

Oddly, we do not have a polling function - at least to my knowledge.

Paul, you mentioned the P20 will fit on a Power Base. Can we then assume a P20 is less than the 85 lbs which is the Power Base’s weight capacity?

I’m sure the handles help a great deal. It is their massive size and style I find too much, especially given their placement on the front. I prefer understated styling in all respects.


Exactly. All a matter of taste certainly, but I think not only to a few it looks like screwing a big rear spoiler to nice corvette…

The P20 screams handles… ‘that’s all I see when I look at the photos’ …You could anchor Nimitz - Class carriers to those handles…

No, the P20 is ten pounds heavier but it’ll still work on the PowerBase which isn’t at its optimum but still floats.

Thank goodness there isn’t a polling function - they are about as useful as our (Australian) same sex marriage poll doing the rounds. PS Audio have stated the handles are staying. Petition Paul directly via pm if you want to change his mind.

Frank, you know Paul doesn't do PM's, right?
