Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal?

I have a tough decision. I have speakers with built-in casters and move around quite easily. But I’m thinking about buying new speakers that have spikes and discs and weigh 120 pounds each.

Has anybody figured out a way to make life easier should you want to move a speaker around your home or even a couple feet from where they currently are?

Someone needs to go back to school. One ton is two thousand pounds.

Yes, Dunlavy VI speakers weigh 520 lbs each. I'd love to hear your opinion of them @clockwerk99.

@clockwerk99

Any chance getting the brand name for those really slippery sliders.

Thanks

I walk them, keeping one foot on the ground at all times. To put it on a plinth, you can even walk the speaker up onto a 1x4 then a 2x4.

I bought a bunch of helium balloons, maybe that’ll help.

And I’m now dating someone from the women’s wrestling Federation.

I think addl speaker manufactures need to do what Bowers does. The spikes Drop down and the casters go away. I think McIntosh needs to sell their tank like amplifiers to be rolled out of the boxes on a nice looking rack that’s on casters.

People need to move speakers and amplifiers around.
