How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting?


I have large (175 pounds each) speakers with sharp spikes placed on carpet. I would like to be able to move them a few feet by myself to tweak their positions but lifting them is obviously not an option (I can't even lift half their weight).

I currently use a convoluted method involving tilting them over about 30 degrees, slide a board under spikes on one side, and then repeat on the other side. The speakers almost toppled over the other day which would damage them.

I'm aware there are non-spike alternatives but do not have the money to spend on these options. Any clever moving methods out there? 

Thanks!

Use ceramic tiles, tip the speaker over just enough to insert one tile underneath the two lifted spikes, repeat the procedure for the other two spikes, and the speaker can be moved on top of ceramic tiles to make the -fine- adjustments. After that just remove the ceramic tiles by reversing the procedure.
