Audio Supports


Why is it that the majority of audio equipment comes with four feet rather than just three? It seems that only having three would provide a more solid foundation that would better resist vibration and rocking. Speakers come to mind as a component that might really benefit if it was part of the original design.

Any thoughts? Are there companies that do this that I have not seen?

Some electronics gear has three feet. I've owned some of it. It always seemed unstable to me - if I leaned on a corner by accident, it would just about tip over. Having said that, if the product in question is the proper shape, three would work just fine. A floor standing speaker that is quite narrow but very deep comes to mind (think audio physic) Two spikes in front, one in back.
