Child Damage Mitigation

Last week the wife and I brought a new baby home - our first - and it's been fun introducing her to the music we love. It dawned on me this morning that this child will be crawling before I know it and my lovely pair of Magnepan 3.7's might be sitting ducks. They're less agile than the cat, closer to the ground than the house plants, and more fragile than the couch. As I've calculated I've got approximately 6 months to find a way to prevent any child-induced damage so your input is greatly appreciated. What can I learn from the grand wisdom of AG about how to keep the kid away from the speakers?

Some people have healthier look at life and priorities than others. That is all that there is.

Right. What I'm saying. They had a healthier look at life 50, 60, 100 years ago.

I bet even back in the olden days, the President’s parents couldn’t keep little Donnie away from anything he wanted to touch. Just a hunch....

In any case, accidents happen so best to be safe. Some hifi gear is more childproof than others.

I would buy some dog/child gates/fences on Amazon.
They have a nice selection. I don't know how your room is laid out, but Amazon sells some nice folding fences that allow you to place them where needed and are easily moved when not wanted.
I use them for my dogs, and my system is safe from their little paws.
