Speakers On Wheels?
Hi All,
Unfortunately I have to move again and the best I could do, is a large studio space on the fourth floor of a 1930’s era building in a sketchy part of town. This should dispel any notion that all audiophiles are wealthy. The most difficult part of this move will be to get Quad 2905 ESL’s up four flights of stairs without banging them around. I was thinking that I would really like to put the Quads on wheels when they’re in the apartment, so that I could back them up against the wall when not using them and then bring them forward and into place when I want to listen to them. It’s of course important that I mark where the speakers need to be when it’s listening time. Also, I may choose to add a large floor rug so that in itself presents another logistical challenge. Any ideas or recommendations in order to make my life somewhat easier is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

@tweak1 Yes and carpeted no less. |
I have 2 sets of speakers on wheels: one is because the speakers have the tweeter and mid in a stone sculpture, the second because they are 8’ tall line-source speakers. Just match the thread size and order on line. I’ve tried both poly based wheels and rubber wheels. I prefer the rubber as they will not mark the floor. Honestly I haven’t heard a difference when the speakers are on spikes. Makes them easy to position and roll into the background when needed |
I forgot to mention, sometimes I need to get the speakers out of the way. Yay wheels. Holidays, extra leaves in the table, 14 chairs around the table, the speakers get rolled back into the corners to make room to get around the table. They still work, not ’best’ sound or imaging, but with many people moving about, some music, low volume, but not focused listening, until they get outta here. Thought they’d never leave!
