Default Unboxing the 211FE... why is it so difficult?
Trying to unbox this 211FE... or should I say uncrate and then unbox...

It's the worst! The spaces within the box is so tight, I can barely get any kind of grip on the amps. It's like they purposely made the packaging super tight and super painful to get to the amps.

Literally took me 30 minutes to get one out. Worst experience ever. I lift weights and 100 pounds shouldn't be this difficult, but man... what a pain.

I hope it sounds real good...


Hahaha...

Try unboxing a pair of Pass X600.5 amps by yourself, after getting them from the garage to the living room. I opened the box, carefully rolled it upside down, and lifted the box up. Presto, unboxed, but upside down, amps. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I've always opened the boxes, then carefully turned them upside down to release the inner contents when it comes to large and heavy items.

Sometimes you need a second pair of hands!

Joey.......The Cary 211 FE amplifiers look very nice. I would want Cary to pack these beauties well.

Agree with Dan. With amps that beautiful, I would be more than willing to struggle getting them unpacked if it meant they arrived in pristine condition.

CONGRATULATIONS on getting such a wonderful amplifier!
