prof,
I get it. I may simply be lucky as none of my adult guests ever tried to (semi)intentionally damage anything. At the same time, the last thing on my mind would be resale value. I would be more concerned about hanging out with people who enjoy damaging anything. That would be a wake-up call and price of the damaged speaker may be worth paying to find out this unacceptable personality trait. However, if you place a glass on the speaker, be my, well, guest. It is just a speaker and it is just a glass. For some reason, nobody ever did that. Instead, I put things there all the time. It may help that I do not sell these things so resale value is really not on my personal radar. Moving speakers would be even less important, as far as I am concerned. I do not know if I am a chill friendly host, but, yes, those who get angry about people touching or accidentaly damaging their equipment are uptight.
