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?

Yes, Dunlavy VI speakers weigh 520 lbs each. I'd love to hear your opinion of them @clockwerk99.

Any chance getting the brand name for those really slippery sliders.

Thanks

 

 

I walk them, keeping one foot on the ground at all times. To put it on a plinth, you can even walk the speaker up onto a 1x4 then a 2x4.

I bought a bunch of helium balloons, maybe that’ll help.

And I’m now dating someone from the women’s wrestling Federation.

I think addl speaker manufactures need to do what Bowers does. The spikes Drop down and the casters go away. I think McIntosh needs to sell their tank like amplifiers to be rolled out of the boxes on a nice looking rack that’s on casters.

People need to move speakers and amplifiers around.

 

 

like skeptikal I tilt and walk my +120 lbs speaker around, but I'm on carpet over concrete, I had speakers that weighed 285 lbs ea and inched them around with a hand cart with a blanket protecting the finish of the speakers.
