Caster Wheels vs. Spikes


My Tekton Double Impacts came with caster wheels, which made them very easy to move and reposition. They are sitting on probably fake wood floors in my apartment. They sound great now, but I can't help but wonder if I'm leaving SQ on the table by not having them on spikes. Some people say I must use spikes, others (including Erik Alexander) say wheels are just fine. They are super heavy so the wheels are not easy to take off. I want to make sure it's worth doing. What are your experiences and thoughts?

georgehifi5 ,  The Vibrapod are well design (compare to the sorbotan footer) and not expensive and very effective on my suspended floor, but if the  sorbotan footer do the job, why not.
Herbies sliders have given me by far the best results on several different floor structures. For my Arias they were an immediate improvement without a doubt.

"Oh, you are SO losing out by using casters! The difference is OBVIOUS. No true audiophile would use casters! Once you hear spikes you will NEVER want to go back!

Hey, wait! I put casters on the Vapor Audio Joule White speakers! Nevermind. ;)

No one here has figured out the most important variable between spikes and casters. "

Indeed ^^^

I don't get the caster thing. And to me, they're ugly. Yeah setup is a pita with heavy speakers. I get it. So is turntable setup. Why would you need or want casters after they're dialed in?
