Hi ubernatural,
Well, that is certainly one of the most thorough reviews of a stand that I've read in some time. Thank heavens you liked the speakers!
Seriously, I've passed along some comments on stands to Ian at the plant, as well as a suggestion for an entirely different stand design. Something may happen eventually.
I recall another customer used a bracket to anchor his M22s to the wall behind while they remained on the stand, thus making them toddler-proof. I think he also had a large dog who was prone to bumping into things. Admittedly a fairly radical approach, but he did point out that the bracket was invisible from the front (the base of the M22s still rested on the stands.)
Regards,
