I am surprised no one has mentioned the Gallo 3.1 yet. The grill is a large cage with speaker cloth around it that goes over the speaker with quite a bit of room between it and the drivers. The 3.1 is bottom heavy and you could put outriggers on them for even less chance of being knocked over. Oh, they also sound great.
Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile?
OK. Crazy question. Have friend who wants to set-up nice system in multi-purpose 17x22 room where kids will play. Wants to know if there are any hi-end spkrs (budget $5k-10k used) where the drivers are not so fragile or so expensive to replace (ie, he doesn't want B&W diamond tweeter that is both very fragile and costs $1200 or more to replace). Now, mind you, his kids aren't playing with knives, lol, but the occasional bump or finger touch to paper cones, metal dome tweeters are a concern. Any sugestions?
