By inadvertently (I will explain the use of the word inadvertently later) you have dealt with the problem of four (even numbers) feet.
Obviously, whoever produced the cones you use must have HEARD the beneficial effect of using three instead of four (or they would have recommended the use of four cones!!!) If you used four cones, the sound would be perceived as 'worse' and you would either have to add a fifth cone or remove the fourth cone.

The reason why I use the word inadvertently is because it would not have been a logical step for you to deliberately chose to use only three cones. You either used the number three because it 'sounded' better with three cones or it had been recommended by the producers of the cones that you should only use three (because it would 'sound' better)!!

If the explanation given is that three cones 'deal with' vibrations better - therefore 'dealing with' any adverse effect on the audio signal better, all you have to do is to remove the three cones from under the working amplifier (the sound will now be perceived to have deteriorated) and place the three cones under an identical but PASSIVE amplifier - just sitting passively on a shelf - not connected to the audio system and not connected to the AC power supply - and back will come the 'good' sound !!!!

There is NO audio signal travelling through the PASSIVE amplifier to be adversely affected and yet you will have the 'better' sound back !!
