RE: How to move/install heavy speakers?

IF, I stress IF, the bottom of the speakers is flat AND strong, you could move them around the way I move a safe: placing a series of golf balls under them to roll them around and get them where you want them. While it is easy to move something in one direction by putting it on pipes, using the golf balls provides for not only easily moving something around, but also for rotating the item and lateral movement as well. My gun safe weighs nearly 900 pounds empty and was it was easy for me to move it around once I had a number of golf balls under it.

As the speakers more forward and the balls come out from under them from the back, just take the balls back around to the other side, put them in position, then continue the movement. The item will easily glide back onto the balls that were placed in front of it. Works like a champ.

The caveat of course is that there will be force applied not to just the edges of the speaker cabinet, presumably the strongest near the sides/wall, but also randomly all across the bottom. That is a very important consideration and one that should not be overlooked.

What ever/ how ever you do it, I wish you success and a damage free event. Of course the EASIEST way to move them is to be well-heeled enough to pay somebody else to do it!! LOL

That's not a problem I'm likely to have any time soon.
