Yup - Dogs need to learn that all members of the family come first in the pecking order, THEN the dog. A light bop on the nose works wonders as a reinforcement tool while it learns the ropes.
You either have a trained dog or your dog has a trained human. Don't be the pet in your own home!
As for your dream speakers - hold off until the pooch knows right from wrong.

I think you should not have a problem with most breeds of dog. A bit of training should help.
Make the base as wide as possible (I always do this because of the dogs). Make the bases heavy and inert. If they bounce back to the floor at a 30 degree angle you should be okay with most exuberant breeds.
Place the speakers with a little common sense, i.e not in the doorway, where the dog could brush past it when chasing another one.
Be wary of wet noses and light coloured uncoated paper cones, cover those fragile drivers.
Watch out for the dog tasting anything new, this includes the side of the cabinets.
Be wary of projectiles. Enthusiastic big dogs can throw a toy teddy bear quite far!
I have never had a grown dog **** its leg indoors.
Watch for flicking dog slobber, sometimes (in rare cases) this stuff can be mildly corrosive or staining!

Measure the height of the CG of your speaker. Build a base platform whose radius in the horizontal plane is 2.1x the CG height, and which has a spherical bottom surface the radius of the sphere being 2.1x the CG height. Weight the bottom of the base platform with ballast equal to 2x the weight of the speaker. Bolt the speaker to the center of the base platform and you have created a very expensive Bozo the Clown bounce back punching bag. Whatever the dog does to knock the speaker over, it will come back at him and scare the living beejesus out of him. After two weeks you should be able to discard the bases and enjoy the music!
