Yes, if you like the sound of your cabinet when it’s more coupled to the stage. From my experience, using

the cabinet on castors does affect the sound, and can reduce some ‘booming’ on more hollow stages. 

Removable castors do give you the choice of course. 😀

As above. I put off putting my cab on decent castors for years, worrying that the sound would be adversely affected. I took the plunge and found the sound actually improved.

I found that on some theatre stages the sound improved when I left my GK 410 Neo cab in the

’tray’ of it’s flight case - the bit with the castors on. Got rid of excessive booming and odd

frequencies being accentuated etc. I did generally prefer the sound of the cab flat

on the stage though, but it’s good to have the option of either method.

It has to be said we're talking about a 2x18 here!

Generally the proximity effect is more important than direct coupling when it comes to the sound of a cab and castors don't come anywhere close to lifting the cab far enough off the ground to break that.

Turn the cab on its side then no problem with casters.

I found the best way for me was to attach the casters to a piece of 3/4" ply covered with a piece of carpet thus creating a wheeled dolly. A length of seat belt from a scrapped car allows me to pull the dolly quite easily. The dolly also proved very useful for other moving events.
