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

Very nice transducers john....Given the dipole dispersal pattern of your planers and the reduced nature of interaction with your floor, as compared with conventional drivers, I doubt very much whether the casters will have any significant detriment to sound quality until you hit on their exact placement in your room and you can replace them with a more secure foundation method.

Fear not....millercarbon will be alone shortly to persuade you to spend a small fortune on his patrons springy product range..
