You can try replacing the spikes with carriage bolts (round headed, make sure they are then same thread). I use them with my Sound Anchor stands so I can move my speakers Harbeth P3esr) into the room for better sound. Of course, I'm not dealing with 175 pounds (with that mass, I suspect the carriage bolts would work, but the speakers will still be challenging to move). Cheap experiment.
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!
