Mounting Speakers On A Furniture Dolly For Mobility


Will mounting five feet tall, 125 pound speakers on a furniture dolly degrade the sound?  Will the bass be affected? Thick carpeted floor.  

I need to move them around the room quite often.  Three inch wheels on the dolly.

I’ve found that the height of the speaker from the floor is a big factor in sound quality, especially in the bass.  Higher equals less bass and fullness. I don’t think this is simply a matter of driver height in relation to your ears either. Speaker designers factor the space between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor in their measurements and design. I prefer to keep my speaker height and footing like it was intended whenever possible.  This applies to other components as well.  I’ve tried it, I’ve heard the differences, I almost always prefer the stock configuration.
