Played my first show tonight with my b200h/B410 and it was awesome, I could hear myself very well and my tone was very clear.
Nevermind, Musiciansfriend has the weights for the cabs. How about for the b200h and the b115?
Thanks. I meant to say b600h in my last post instead of b115. What a genius.
I am really tempted to get the b200h and a b115, but that would be an 86 pound setup.
Looking at the list of lightweight suggestions linked in the FAQ, though, it seems like once you get to 115, a 63 pound cab is what a cab weighs.
Is the Acoustic gear on the heavier side? It seems that the heads definitely are.

The B600H is listed at 33.1lbs.
FWIW, the rackmountable Ampeg B2RE weighs 26lbs according to the Ampeg site. The weights for the Acoustic heads seem to be pretty normal for their class.

Yeah I was starting to figure that. I'd love to have an Acoustic setup, as I can't seem to find anything that comes close to the value (and the heads sound effin great).
Have any of you had to carry these bad boys up stairs?

I used to carry heavier. I had an Avatar 410 that I'd guess weighed in around 95lbs. It sucks, but as long as there's one other person who can help you, it's not that big of a deal. I definitely recommend casters though.
Yeah. It seems like you can't get away from heavy unless you want to stay below 1x15s, and I don't really want to gig with cabs smaller than that.
If you can find one, neodymium loaded 115s could be a good option. I had an Avatar B115Neo for awhile that probably weighed in around 45-50lbs. It actually weighed less than the 320W head I was running through it. The GK Neo 115-III weighs in at 40lbs.
I have taken my model 361pp and model 406 2x15 cabinets up many set of stairs...The 361pp weighs in at about 150 lbs and the 2 406s I have are loaded with JBLs they weigh in at around 130 lbs each..They all are built as a tilt back cabinet,so it is like using a dolly with my cabinets...It is easier with 2 people.. A great design Acoustic Control Corp came up with years ago for bass cabinets..
