How do you deal with heavy equipment on hardwood floors?

Posted by artemus (A) on August 26, 2015 at 05:12:10

My system is located in the Living Room. The room is 15x20 with Vaulted A ceiling and opens to a 12x12 dining room with adjacent kitchen of same size. I'm ready to change the flooring in the LR from carpet to hardwood. I know it will look better. And I will have to address footers of the speakers and rack.
Here's my dilemma. My speakers weigh 135 lbs. They are easy to slide on the carpet. But hardwood floors will make that impossible. So, how do you position the speakers? Then there's the turntable. It weighs 100 lbs and the custom built stand another 100 lbs. I can deal with it. But I'm wondering if I'm opening a can of worms by making it ridiculously hard to move my equipment. I could change out the speakers. My wife would love smaller speakers IE monitors. But I cannot imagine they would fill such a large room.
Am I missing something here? Am I over thinking it. I want the hardwood but I don't want the seemingly extra trouble. So, how do you deal with heavy equipment and hardwood floors where nothing can be slid into place?
Thanks for your help.
