Companies like DPD, Hermes, and UPS have worked well for me in the UK, offering both insurance and tracking options which add an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

You might want to look at using a reputable piano moving company who will have appropriate experience and insurance. That could work. My friends and I are going to recce it all and form a plan. If we don't think we can do it, then piano movers it will be. Insurance is of no interest. These speakers are irreplaceable and I doubt that some of the drivers are even available any more. I don't want them broken.

I think I’d be watching some YouTube videos for tips on moving heavy speakers, then doing it myself if it was possible to do the drive from A to B

You need to see Martin's speakers in the flesh to see the sheer size

As I said, the best step is to get insurance. If what you're looking to transport is particularly large, choose reliable movers.

We use a deciated piano mover for the over 250Kg speakers once they have been installed and need to be moved after. Otherwise we rent a luton with 500Kg tail lift and have three chaps and a electric pump truck, our insurance has a special goods in transit policy that cover us up to £1m. Plenty of moving dust sheets, padded ratched straps and bubble wrap, also plan you move, check out stairways, driveways, does it need to go over grass (moving planks can be rented as well to prevent sinkage) Check which days for least traffic, accessways etc.
