Receiving my Townshend Audio Podiums Monday. How to?

 

This is for those using Townshend Audio Podiums.

I will be receiving a pair of podiums this coming Monday.  I’m very picky about  having my left and right speakers distance from the wall behind the speakers, and the wall to the side of the speakers equal for both speakers, having found that distances must be within 1/10 of an inch of each other for proper staging.   In other words the distances from the walls must be identical for both the left, and the right speakers in my room.

My question is once I place the podiums on the floor, and then place the speakers on the podium, how do you adjust speaker position while assuring that the speaker is positioned properly at the center of the podium?  Do you put gliders under the feet of the podiums, or something similar?  How did you do it?

In advance, thanks for sharing any suggestions you have.

Thanks to you all for the suggestions.  

My main concern is once I have the speakers on the podiums, how to best make small adjustments to either toe-in, or location (I don’t think that makes me “extremely compulsive”).  I do plan on, as suggested, taping the floor, around the speakers, to mark the position of where to place the podiums.  Hopefully then, once I put the speakers on the podiums, they will be in the same position as they were prior to the podium installation.  
My floor is carpet, and what I am thinking is putting furniture gliders under the podium feet to facilitate moving the podiums once the speakers are on the podiums (carefully, with a friends assistance).  I’ll check out the Everbilt Furniture Sliders as suggested.

Again, thank you all for your guidance!
