I noticed that with SB3 volume is louder on many internet stations than
when playing FLAC files from my PC's hard drive. Is this normal? I even

Apparently you can buy (or build) hollow stands which you fill with
sand. These make them very heavy and if the base is wide enough,
virtually tip-proof. As a bonus, you get a very, very stiff base that
won't resonate.

My floor standers, like many others, came with a fairly broad base - you
would need to deflect the speakers through a large angle (sorry, not
measured it) before they fell over.
However this will,as you say, entail lots of listening and expense and
even then will only reduce the risk somewhat.
