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?

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!

Despite being a CPA, I’m not very good with math. tons are tons. That’s a lot of weight.

Maybe he needs to look at the weight as a tax on his back instead?
