If they're small, you can ship with carriers like UPS and Fed-X. Just pack them well and be sure to insure them for an appropriate amount. I'd say one out of a thousand packages are damaged or lost.
If larger than about a cubic foot and/or heavier than 50 pounds, palletize each speaker and have a crate built around the pallet. Then send 'em via LTL carrier. Still want to be insured, of course, and the risk is still about the same. But palletized packages sent by LTL truck offer different methods to load and unload. This has some advantages on larger packages, and I think makes 'em less prone to having problems on either end.
Ironically, it's often cheaper to ship LTL too, especially for heavy stuff. Then again, the cost of crating usually more than makes up the transport savings in cost.
