I have had two palettes full of mid-size and large (200 lbs each) speakers shipped to me from the manufacturer using Yellow Freight. I have also shipped a palette contained a pair of these speakers (200 lbs each) across the US from SC to WA using Yellow Freight. Their new website is under www.YRC.com (was MyYellow.com).
bax is now db schenker and they may pick up from your home.
call them to be sure.
pack them well.

By the way, I've shipped heavy speakers 3 times without any issues. If your speakers have considerable size or weight definitely strap them to a pallet and you increase your odds of a safe delivery tenfold. I've used Dayton Freight successfully in the midwest and via freigtcenter.com had great success using R+L Carriers. Freightcenter.com will price out several different carriers and then you can choose the least expensive.
Back In February, I had a pair of JBL 4430 Studio Monitors shipped to me, and a friend helped me, by suggesting a couple, and I went with R+L Carriers.

Total weight was estimated at 350 lbs, they were nylon strapped to a full size skid, and the nice thing about R+L (make sure other shippers have this if you decide with somebody else) was that they supply thier own Pallet Jack, and the 53' Semi Trailer had a hydraulic lift gate on back. Thus, not incurring any extra cost with Fork Lifts, etc, so this is one important consideration.

Another point, is if you can have shipment go to-from a commercial address, usually the charges are less, rather than to a residential address.

R+L appeared to be quite professional, quick, and down here in the Southwest (NM), it appears Holloman AFB, and White Sands Missle Range use them as well.
Hope this helps, Mark
