I am guessing it was just the awkardness of getting the amp out the box, as you said handles would make things alot easier. If you were to open the box around the amp so you could easily get to the corners for hand holds the accident would have not happened.
True, but the problem was when buying an amp on the cheap, I had to keep the box intact and didn't want to slit the corners to get a good grip on the edges so I could send the amp back if necessary, and it looks like it may be necessary! If I had a rug like Gene Dela Salla instead of wood floors I suspect everything may have been different, may be it all could have worked out just like in the review.
