OK, standmount speakers on stands are out. That's a personal choice I've made on the basis of minimising the risk of an accident. It's got nothing to do with me telling my kids "don't touch" (Nick 21), nor the lack of understanding what the difference is between a floorstander and a standmounted speaker (chebby - Dave nailed it by the way) and much as I'd love to hang the risk with it all, they'd be in free space (Igglebert); it's a non-starter right now.
Like it or not, it's a risk I've got on my radar for now. I don't care if someone's had 50 kids in their living room at once, never mind 17 over the years, it makes no odds and I'm happy to reduce that level of risk. Simply telling the kids "don't touch" is only part of it, but I'm not naive enough to believe that's all I need to worry about - the same applies around the home and we do what we can to make sure out kids are okay without being overbearing about it.
The Missions have many plus points, not least that they sound good as well as being pretty solid (18kgs each), so, without their spikes, they're solid enough. They'll do for a good while yet.
