Torquing up the screws so that they were all equal is something I used to play with quite a lot back when I had Linn speakers. There tended to be an optimum torque level. Of course especially with speakers you have to be *really* careful not to break anything such as over-tightening and pulling captive nuts through the wooden surround or however they're constructed.
I'm rather disappointed speaker manufacturers in particular don't appear to use fixed torque settings when assembling them. Veering off at a tangent (no pun intended) to circuits boards, I've also found manufacturers over-tighten boards to such an extent that damage could be occurring. When you need to use a foot-long or more arm on a wrench to untighten the bolt holding a delicate and multi-layer circuit board, I tend to feel they might just be over-tightening it a tad.
