Any time you have a 3-point foot arrangement, there can be some stability issues if you push on the speakers from certain directions.
The 3 point system defines a plane, so there are no problems with leveling or "rocking" on the feet. It also places more mass on each point, which is good for our design.
Generally, it is not a problem, but if children romp and play in the listening room, or if people tend to run into things while not looking, it could be knocked over.
I have speakers that are 6' tall and have a 12" x 12" footprint, sitting on the small SP-004 platforms. They have never been knocked over in 2 years, and I have a big dog(135 lb. Rottweiler) that likes to play in front of the stereo. With very tall, narrow tower speakers like mine, they are much more "tippy" than the more common height speakers like 36"-40" tall. If you take any care at all to not knock into your speakers real hard, then you won't have a problem
For those who cannot abide with the 3-point system, then the Sistrum probably would not be a good choice.
If you can live with the 3-point system, the sound improvements are very worthwhile.
Hope that helps.
