Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: advice needed about putting speakers on wheels.

As long as the speaker cables don't become stretched, you could move the speakers safely within the range of the cables - just take obvious precautions.

Your speakers are lightweight compared with mine that are over 100 Kg! Once you have them properly positioned for best sound, will you need to be moving them again? If not, then there are alternatives to castors to move heavy speakers small distances to experiment when setting them up. If you have hard floors, tilt the speaker one way, then the other to get a linen cloth or similar under the speaker's feet. Then they'll be easy to slide. More tricky with carpeted floor though. If on spikes, remove them first of course and re-install after you've found the ideal positioning

If you need to move them from room to room (I can't think why unless as very occasionally, a "float" is the best solution - an MDF or plywood board with small swivel castor at each corner, but the speakers' sound won't ben quite as good as when on proper feet - isolation or spikes depending on floor surface, etc
