SPEAKER BOXES: It's a good idea to remove the speakers from their boxes at the TOP of the stairs in the AL showing room, and then carry the speakers down the stairs without their boxes, since the boxes weigh about as much as the speakers themselves. The only reason for keeping the speakers in the boxes on the way down the stairs is against the possibility of dropping them, and really, the health and safety risks of volunteers carrying around the heavy speaker boxes are probably worse than the risks of dropping the speakers.
UPDATE: Now that we are using AL-16 for storage, this advice is out-of-date.
