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

@johnspain--I faced the same problem with a pair of Rockports and used casters under thick mdf just to move--they locked as jjss49 said--when i found the location they sounded best i removed the mdf with casters and put symposium acoustics platforms there--(took 2 of us) --yes they sounded better with the casters gone but i don't know if that was the mdf, the casters themselves or the casters having raised the height or some combo of all 3-- but in the end i felt sure that the location was ideal--so don't worry about it--i suspect where they sound best with casters is where they'll sound best without them as well.  Good luck.
