My cats took a go at knocking over the M50 the other day. Didn't work, as there simply isn't room where it is for it to tip over, but it was fairly amusing!

I imagine a tipping speaker (M60) is less likely to cause harm than a falling speaker (M22). You don't want a corner landing on them...
Another vote for towers. Ideally, put a couple of sticky-mount hooks on the back wall and the back of the speaker so the cable can run up straight from the binding posts, across to the wall out of reach, then down in some safe location where tugging will just pull wires out of the back of the receiver.

The great thing about Axioms that they only have 4 sharp corners -- half as many as a standard box speaker. They should add that to the literature as a selling point.

Has anybody here tried the new stands for the m22's? They are supposed to have a pressure clamping system to prevent the speakers from being knocked off the stands. Tipping them over could still be a problem though...

Can the stands be filled with sand? No mention of it on the website...? That might tip (Ha!) the decision toward the 22s? Can I add more sentences with question marks?

... or hang the speakers from the ceiling for safety...

I asked Brent a few months back the same question. Yes, the Axiom speaker stands can be filled with sand, lead shot (my preference) or similar material to deaden vibration and increase stability.
