Speaker stand design - Is this a good idea?

Hi folks,

With the advise of some of you, I purchased a Harbeth LS3/5a (8 inches sqaure base) and a Creek evo amp to be installed in a small room in India. The floors are tiled (no carpets). I am worried that if the speakers tip over, they may get damaged.

My local dealer in India recommends that the speaker sit on a 9 inch sqaure plate. He is also suggesting that at about 8.5 inches square he will create a little fence about 0.5 inch high to make sure the speaker does not shift 'off' the stand. For what it's worth he thinks it might also provide some support from an accidental fall.

Is this a good idea?

Thanks guys for all your recommendations.

I think I will settle for blu-tak or handitak neither of which are available in India. Might just have to wait till my next trip to the US.

Will either of the following interfere with the quality of the sound:
1. The top plate of the stand is 9 inches square while the Harbeth is 8 inches square?
2. The fence 0.5 inch high

Thanks all.
Audiokinesis, appreciate your long detailed reply and offer for a life time supply.

Cheers,

Vish
