You might be right.  In any case, my speaker stands have 4 spikes.  I was just saying that "in theory" 3 is better than 4 for stability.  TBH I don't know of any 3 spike speakers/stands.

No, no kids yet but we do have two cats...and the tops of my speakers frequently form part of their race around the living room obstacle course  .  A 5Kg cat landing on top of a speaker after a 5ft leap imparts a fair amount of sideways force I can tell you.  That's the main reason my speakers are blu-tak'd to the stands otherwise they'd just be knocked clean off each time :inferno:
