I agree with Brian - go with the tip-toes (or just about anything else) over the casters. Black Diamond Racing Cones might be an alternative to aluminum tip-toes if you're looking for something more floor-friendly and/or easier to scoot. I think The Cable company sells 'em - get the hard, "fast" ones.
Soundlab speakers: Castors or Tiptoes?
I recently got an older pair of thoroughly rebuilt A1s in excellent condition and have them set up in the basement. Even though some landscaping work 2 years ago resulted in no more water leakage into the room, I am still a bit uneasy to set the speakers, or anything else for that matter, directly on the floor.
For now, I have the A1s on amp stands with the speakers extending about 4" off the stands on the sides and rear ..... but I know this is not a good idea for a long-term solution. I like the idea of castors, providing they are locking, because of the ease to move them around. But somehow this just seems a less rigid coupling vs cones.
Any ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
