In Reply to: RE: How do you deal with heavy equipment on hardwood floors? posted by artemus on August 26, 2015 at 05:12:10
Your local hardware stores should have a selection of furniture sliders for just this purpose. If the speakers and/or rack have spikes, attach the sliders to bottom of the spike footers. Once you're done experimenting with positioning, you can remove the sliders.

I think it would be safer to remove the spikes before moving the speakers. I've also heard about using the old carpet to use as a slider on hardwood. I guess that would be safe. Just trying to get some input from others who have dealt with heavy speakers and hardwood. thanks for the suggestion. I was planning on getting some footers from Herbies for the speaker spikes. They're a little expensive but get good reviews

You paid HOW MUCH for that electrical receptacle?!!! Are YOU nuts?
Carpet almost always has some pretty abrasive backing. For my 150+
speakers on wood floors, I fabricated some simple wooden blocks (2
inch square by 1 inch tall, drilled a divot on each top for the spikes
to seat themselves, and glued heavy felt on the underside of the blocks.
Works like a charm.

You turn the carpet over so the soft side slides on the hardwood. But your idea is interesting also.. Thanks.
