To Caster or Not To Caster...?

Music room (yes, 'am blessed to have one) is a former kid's bedroom with thick carpet, coconut palm area rug for vibe, leather loveseat and double-wide papa-san chair...

...read, acoustically "not too lively."

Normal practice/goofing around amp is a Line 6 Spider Jam single 12" open back. (yes, recommended)

Will the amp benefit "much" <read, be measurably more lively> fom being lifted off the floor by installing Fender-style casters?

Thank you.

Aye...there's the rub! :mrgreen:
In principal, one gets more BASS frequencies with the air movement (caused by a vibrating speaker-conus/dome) now also taking place UNDERNEATH the cabinet of the amp when it rests on casters. I even have the speakers of my stereo set raised about 2" off the floor, resting on casters ;)

If it helps, I put up slotted shelf supports on the wall, then just use the shelf supports for the amp. It gets it off the floor, and becomes part of the decor - and it's height adjustable. A quick, easy fix.
