Something on top of a speaker=okay?


We have a (toy) stuffed dog laying on top of one of our floorstanding speakers. Does this affect the sound?  

Do I need to find an identical breed of stuffed dog to put on the other speaker to maintain balance? Does it matter if it's a dog, an elephant or a cute bunny? What about the color? We can dye the dog's fur if that improves the soundstage.

I suspected that the stuffing was important. Perhaps I could keep my stash of stolen loose diamonds elsewhere. Maybe I should try cornflakes?

R2D2 and Marvin the Martian say yes it is okay. If it is okay with them, it is okay with me.

I have a 10lb weight on top of each of my speakers. Definitely makes a difference.
