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.

If you want to put stuffed animals on your speakers you absolutely need to measure them for size down to a couple thousandths of an inch and weight to 1mg otherwise your soundstage will be total crap 💩.

I guarantee that one of the better-known members of this Forum will swear up and down that the sound will improve if you put Purple or Orange Fuses in the stuffed animal. The sound improvement will be quantum leaps ahead of the current sound imaging. And the background will be blacker.

The only way to counter the negative effects of the stuffed animals is to put Townshend pods underneath them.

I don’t place anything on my speakers. I can’t understand why people do. It’s not a plant stand for gosh sakes.

I apologize for having two small bronzes on my speakers that are not symmetrical.

Funny how all the words come out whichever speaker I set her on...

(that's a joke)
