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

Having the ability to move them around to find the best location for them in your room far out weighs any lack of sound quality when you find your magic spot you can then take off the casters for maximum quality at that time.


good point

How many of MC’s recommendations have you actually tried? I’ve tried 9 now, working on the 10th, and my modest system sounds shockingly good because of his recommendations. I’m going to post on all of it after I set up the DBA, again following MC’s recommendations. Just got the first sub, I’m going to add one a month to really experience how a DBA affects sound.

Acolyte? Sycophant? You bet, because his ideas work, and work brilliantly, and I know because I’ve tried them myself.

Finally, placebo effect… Here’s the thing… this stuff has delivered amazing sound for myself, my wife, and all of my friends who come listen and are blown away. That’s a pretty dang good placebo effect, I’ll take it!


so mc has a burner account now?

gotta love it!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

in theory yes, in practicality it depends...

on the speaker
on the room
on the type of stand and caster mechanism (locking non locking, swiveling, connection hardware)
on how much work you put into leveling and positioning
... and mostly, can you actually hear the difference...

then again, they do have their benefits too...
