I routinely carry my Aguilar GS410 (98 lbs) and Aguilar DB659 & DB728 in a shock-mount SKB case (115 lbs) up and down three flights of stairs. The trick is to lift with your legs and hips, develop a technique to carry safely close to your body and be able to stop and rest it on a step at any time if you get tired, off balance or are losing your grip. Move one piece at a time and budget at least twice as long as you think you'll need for loading.

Depending on your living situation you may be able to get one of those appliance dollies with the stair-climber treads and wheels then rachet-tie it to the dolly to get the cab up and down the stairway? No matter what you do just lift smart, lift slow and never try to stop a falling amp!

The 610 is cool. It has a horn while the 810 does not IIRC. I still love my 810 though and will take every opportunity to show it off and it's (kind of) matching 215: :bassist:

But seriously, 610 is a solid cabinet and is not a light box. store it in the garage or you'll hate everything. Or get a rehearsal space and jam it.

I'd say definitely go for it! I found one for cheap and I don't regret the weight at all. I wouldn't think of lugging that thing up and down 3 flights every time I needed to play out or practice. No way, Jose. But that is a sweet sounding cab, best I've had for sure. Id say store it downstairs and plan on replacing your practice amp to, the sound of that Ampeg is addictive.

I first owned the 610, and decided to sell and buy the 410SVT thinking that it would be just as good but easier to transport. Boy was I wrong on both counts. The 410 was a bear to move because of it's short stature, and the sound out of the 410 was nothing like the 610. The 610 had a much more focused tone, and had the ability to go low if needed, without the boominess of the 410.

I think you made a great deal.

why would enyone want to lug a 610 into a third floor appartement?
I have my 412 sitting in my band practice room and no desire taking it home with me - i could not turn it up anyway if i valued the continued existence of the contract with my landlord.
I play a 110 with a 18w amp that is attentuated to 5w and still too loud.
