Mounting Speakers On A Furniture Dolly For Mobility

If you listen to a pair of Wilsons on casters (before) and after when they are spiked, the difference is massive and it's not just due to a change in speaker height.

Having had my open baffle speakers on a pair for well over a year, they are excellent for finding best placement in the room, but once that's accomplished, the sooner they are off the dollys, the better. I my case, I didn't have any help, so smashed my big toe, sliding them off

Yes  use spikes as this will decouple to much and you will loose sound quality and bass detail.

I have alway thought about designing a system for this application. It would be an adjustable platform to fit the speaker and have a foot lever to engage the wheels and then when in place the wheels retract and the floor spikes would support the speakers. You could even design them as spring loaded dampening system once in place. always figured we have people paying 100 k for a piece of wire they would surly pay a few thousand for speaker carts.

Hello Mitch 41. I put casters on my 15" subwoofer cabinets and Shahanian puts casters on their Obelisk models ($7000/pr ish). Just be sure the casters don't rattle when shaken vigorously. If you can find some with softish wheels, you may solve two problems at once. Happy listening.
