Speakers On Wheels?
@bondmanp Funny, two nights ago I was dreaming about a piano mover bringing my speaker through the window. It may have been raining. But no, I’ll have to recruit a friend to help me bring them up the stairs on a hand truck. @elliottbnewcombjr I wo...

@tweak1 Yes and carpeted no less.

And thank you to all who posted.  
Speakers On Wheels?
@soix I didn't think of the threaded gliders. I do have titanium disc gliders under my cones but it still seems like a lot of work. @elliottbnewcombjr I certainly appreciate your advice and thorough explanation. Tip over prevention was I somethin... 
Speakers On Wheels?
@erik_squires and @jon_5912  Sorry I totally forgot to add that I have four cones threaded into the bottom of my Quads and they sit in titanium disks. They sound better this way than any other option. So I was thinking of a way I might be able to... 
Best sounding FM table radio ever made...
Given the lack of local radio stations worth listening to, I would most likely choose this Ruark Audio R2 MK 4. https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/ruark-audio-r2-mk4    
Using Tape Outputs
@soix My current budget is practically non existent, as I'm again paying for new Quad ESL panels, looking for a new place to live and other inundating money matters. That being said, I'm entertaining the idea of eventually purchasing the Schiit Ly...

I still use my mono, AM only, 1957 Zenith Trans-Oceanic shortwave radio. It doesn’t sound that great but I’ve always been a fan of short wave radio and baseball games. While Deutsche Welle and the BBC no longer broadcast to the Americas, many stat... 
How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer?
With academia, I would write something related to my discipline and then follow the submission guidelines for whatever periodical I wanted to be published in. So I would think you could do a review and then contact Stereophile or whoever and tell ... 
Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood?
I had the Monitor Audio GS bookshelf speakers and they sounded pretty good. When I heard a pair of floor standing Totems at my local hifi store, I was highly impressed. In fact, the Totems sounded better than a pair of Focal floor standing speaker...

I’d buy a pair of Quad 57’s rebuilt and the time them with a pair of subwoofers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175932650912    
Besides the BBB how do you fight claim resolution against FedEx
If the item was insured and you have documentation, then I would file a pro se lawsuit. Fed Ex will try to quash it but then you’ll just provide the documentation to the judge and the lawsuit will move forward. Most likely after that, you’ll get a... 
Grado Customer Service (Bad)
@bcgood Well internet law says that the sale is in your jurisdiction, assuming you purchased them online. From everything you’ve explained, I’d be aggravated myself. Isn’t there a way to call them?
