Is There A Moveable Base To Easily Voice Speakers?

With larger speakers, especially with spikes, it is very difficult to effectively and easily move and dial-in a new set of speakers. Particularly if it's just one person. Get up. Sit down. Get up. Sit down.

Is there a device, or a special moveable base, or any method to easily dial-in and voice a new set of speakers? A dolly, a carousel, 2 pieces of plywood, etc? Thanks.

One of my audiophile fantasies is to have my speakers move by remote control. Imagine being able to adjust, in tiny increments, forward and backward, side to side, and toe-in. With precise coordinates captured at all times.

On carpet, put the speaker on a piece of MDF cut to fit inside a baking pan. Works for even the heaviest speakers.

How about not putting on the spikes at all, dialing in the speakers, and putting tape in front of the two corners of the speaker?

Use a suitably sized sheet of Corian (synthetic marble), ceramic floor tile, marble slab (if you can afford it) or other countertop material under the speaker. It slides easily on carpet and you can voice with the spikes on. If you get a proper color match for the room and speaker it also looks great and you can leave uder the speaker.
