Monitors secure on stands

I ordered a new pair of Dynaudio Focus 140's and matching stands. They should be in early next week. Unlike the Paradigm Studio 40 v.3's that I am replacing the 140's do not fasten to the stands. We regularly have small children visiting so having speakers secured to the stands gives me peace of mind.
I have a friend that is an excellent wood worker who says he can install threaded inserts in the bottom of the 140's. I can then drill holes in the top plate of the stands to fasten them.
Will this lessen the resale value of the speakers when upgrade time rolls around? Any other good suggestions?

I agree with everything that has been said thus far. I will not buy speakers that have had anything done to them, especially with holes drilled in them. I think, though, that with the right stand, there is much less chance to topple over. I know that my stands have a good foundation, and weigh quite a bit. It would take a lot for a young one to push it over.

On another note, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on those speakers. I was considering them myself, but have not had a chance to hear them. If you get a chance, drop me an email and let me know your thoughts.
