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?

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.

Example:

My Gustard x26 pro uses coax for a digital FM tuner, AES for CD transport, I2s for streamer and optical for Puffin phono stage. And I got Bluetooth too! LOL

@ghdprentice How to casters hurt the sound of the speakers?
