Can you think of how to make a small trolley/jack/lift type thing to move a speaker?
Speaker is about 40 kg on spikes = damn heavy. The trolley would go under the base then have some way of lifting the speaker, maybe 25 mm so the
spikes are clear of the carpet. The trolley will have castors that allow the speaker to be moved.
I suspect that the effort in design and making such a thing would be more hassle than removeing the spikes and shoving the speaker about to its final
position, then refitting the spikes.
but hey, were is the challenge in that?
so what can you come up with?
pallet pump truck?
Sack barrow
buy some casters and some box section off cuts, and weld it all up?
sorry - should have said it is not to move them from A to B, but to fine tune them for positioning when listening to them, such as toe in.
the problem with removing spikes is that the position may change when I need to lift them up to get the spikes in.
currently thinking of using wedged shaped blocks of wood so that speakers sit on top so can be moved around, then blocks pulled away to drop speakers
onto the floor.
I just tilted mine on 1 spike then moved saves alot of hassel
You Jessee! It's only 40kg, 2-man (or woman) lift

James I don't think your girlfriend will appreciate you posting her weight on the Internet lol 9 3/4 stone in old money
Yeah - prepare to get savate-chopped James (unless you've politely understated her weight) .
O2GF74 - could you not just lift up one side then place something like metal jam jar lids under the spikes, then repeat for other side. The lids
should allow you to slide the speakers about a bit, then take them out afterwards.

SWMBO won't like multiple spike holes in the carpet - rust me, been there, done that and had the bollocking 
The obvious answer has to be a sack barrow surely?
Even if you had to customise it slightly by narrowing the load plate.
Have you looked at a gas bottle trolley as used by welders? In effect a narrow sack barrow.
2 polish guys, £5 each, done.
or grow a pair, and do it yourself
