Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance

I recently purchased a new (used) pair of Magnapan 3.7i's.  They replaced a pair of 1.7's.  when I got the 1.7's I worked for weeks to get them tuned to the room.  At the end of that process, the 1.7's were like magic.  I am now going through the same process with the 3.7i's.  As I am getting older, the 3.7's (with Mye Stands) are much harder to move on my carpet.  My Question - Will placing casters under the stands degrade the sound quality and does anyone know the bolt and thread size for the Mye stands.  I would kindly appreciate knowledge, advice, opinion, etc.
Thanks in advance, js

@twoleftears’ suggestion is a good one. Use the Herbies until you find your permanent (ha!) speaker placement, then if you want remove them and install the footers of your choice. You can try the current rage---springs---without (heh) springing for the Townshend Seismic products. If you like what they do, start saving for the latter!

By the way, if you think moving around the 3.7i is hard, try a Tympani 3-panel model! Grant Mye makes a stand for the Tympani's, but they're not cheap.
