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.

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.

Why do you think that is?

Best way to know is experimenting. Try with and without and also move it to the other channel. And try different music before you draw a conclusion. In my opinion, yes it will make a difference, but is that difference an improvement? Your ears are the final judge. 

Good luck
