Speaker Slip Covers

Does anyone know where I can shop for slip covers (that's the best description I can think of calling them) for speakers?  I rescued 2 kittens about a year ago, and since then I have rearranged the stereo systems in 3 of my listening rooms.  So far (fingers crossed), they have shown no interest in my speaker grills.  However, as a retired Insurance Executive, I like to minimize my risks.  I recently bought a pair of KLH Model 5's, and I'm looking for a cover that would slip over the speakers when not being used -- think of a pillow case except designed for speakers.

 

I have searched online using several search parameters, but I've only found one site that lists covers for KLH Model 5's (you can get them in linen, cotton, or other fabrics).  I'm also wanting covers for a set of Polk Audio Model 10's and a set of Klipsch Forte II's.  I would appreciate any help on where others may have bought slip covers or what others have used to cover the speakers and protect them from pets, dust, etc.  Thanks in advance.

Go to Walmart and pickup fabric laundry bags with pull string. You can pull them right over the speakers and tie them. I use them over my Avalon Asendants.

We have a cat that can’t be trusted, too.  I went to Home Depot and bought plastic sheet intended for use as translucent lens for four foot fluorescent fixtures.  When I’m not listening, I wrap the plastic over the front of my Vandersteen Treo’s, secured by bungee cords.  Protects the grill cloth when I’m not looking and the cat’s interested in scratching something.  Not exactly the sort of thing a designer would choose, but it’s good protection.  I decided against bag-type covers because they are naturally attractive to curious cats.

Do you live anywhere near a military base?  Off base, there is always a seamstress near by to change a patch or fix a tear.

Back in the day, my mom would take old cotton sheets and make what ever I needed.  

All the best.

I found some garment bags on Amazon that were quite effective at protecting some Vandersteen 3a speakers and some Kef 105 speakers.  Not very expensive, water resistant, and have zippers.

If a cat scratches at a speaker cover, chances are they’ll go right through it to the grills. You will need something underneath that cover like foam board to protect those speakers. Kids, dogs and cats are always an issue. Good luck
