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

boing boing Miller, they said you would pop up.

If castors (sic, in the UK at least) have rubber wheels then they will behave similarly to your beloved far more costly Podiums - boing boing.

If you have a solid floor that it's a no-brainer - spikes or some other rigid interface will prevent your speakers moving.  If you have a suspended wooden floor then there is no set-up that will stop your speakers moving and smearing the SQ.
