Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal?


I have a tough decision. I have speakers with built-in casters and move around quite easily. But I’m thinking about buying new speakers that have spikes and discs and weigh 120 pounds each.

Has anybody figured out a way to make life easier should you want to move a speaker around your home or even a couple feet from where they currently are?

@elliottbnewcombjr....Only suggestion is a caster upgrade.....

The purists are upset about 'cabinet desecration', but the base of it done neatly could a whole new avenue for the tilt'er types...;)

'Ell, I'm guilty....have one pair of Maggies' upside down and another pair of large Heils' at the same angle.....

Take me away from the 'roo court, I could use a vaca of sorts.....*G*

Oh,,,,someone elses' dime, puleze.😎

I used a regular dolly… you know… carpeted on two sides with four casters. I covered the whole thing with padding and felt. You can lower your speakers gently on them and roll away…!

I removed the spikes from my Montana EPX speakers (150 pounds each) and purchased 2" threaded caster wheels that screw in where the spikes were. Works very well and the speakers still sound very good.

 

 

I use Isoacoustics GAYA feet, so caster wheels are a no no in my case. Instead I placed butcher blocks under the GAYAs on top of my carpet. Even so my speakers weigh over 200 lbs, I can still make small placement adjustments by sliding the blocks on the carpet. It takes strong hands, but would be easy with 120 lbs speakers.
