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.

I would like to thank each and every one of you who have responded -- you have given me some GREAT ideas and companies to look at.
@wharfy -- Yes, Dobby and Kossa have given my wife and I MANY hours of entertainment since we found them abandoned last July by the side of a rural country road. They were barely 3 weeks old the Vet guessed. They are now spoiled, Rotten Little Monsters (or RLM's as my wife says)...but we wouldn't have it any other way!
@immatthewj -- Great point about the speaker wires! They have just about grown out of the "chewing phase", but, man, there was a stretch where they were gnawing EVERY damn thing. Metal chairs, wicker baskets, important Tax Documents, my ankles...😂. Fortunately, the only wires exposed were just a few feet of the speaker wires and I have them protected -- all of my systems are in custom built cabinets that my late Father built for me out of solid walnut, cherry, and chestnut. One of his many hobbies was custom woodworking and furniture making, and he was a Master Cabinet Maker...my late Mother could show him a picture of a Jackson Press, Corner Cupboard, or Lazy Susan Dining Room Table featured in "Southern Living Magazine", and he could build an exact copy without plans in a matter of weeks. Didn't use any nails -- it was all Dove Tail Joints and wood glue. Blew my mind. My main system is housed in a 46" H x 33" W x 22" D piece of solid cherry furniture that looks like a mini Wardrobe Armoire. The two front doors open to reveal adjustable wooden shelves, and the top is a beveled-edge lid that lifts open using two spring-loaded hinges to reveal a hidden turntable shelf. When my wife and I bought our first house in 1988, he asked us what we would like him to build for us as a "House Warming Present". I gave him a description of what I wanted, and he totally exceeded anything we could imagine. It's as beautiful today as it was the day he delivered it. I can't even guess what it would cost to have it custom built today...over 500 board feet of solid cherry wood, solid brass hinges, industrial springs for the lid, plus the hours and hours of pure labor costs to cut and glue all the joints and do the ornate carving on the bottom, sides, and top! |
