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!

I have moved my heavy speakers by putting a sleeping bag to the side of them and very carefully tipping them over on their side onto the sleeping bag and then pulling the sleeping bag and speaker to where you want them and reversing the process.
