Heavy difficult to move speakers- how do you deal?

@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.

Thanks for the thread...

My Vandy's weigh 175lb each. I seldom move them, but some great sliders may change that.

Also - 3 ton? Is that melodrama or just a mistake?   

1 metric ton = 2204 lbs. So, a pair of 520 lb. speakers weighs ~0.471 ton, not 3 ton. Still, I am glad that I am not installing them!
