Had same dilemma. I didn't end up with wall mounts; instead I opted for Martin Logans. As a speaker, the mls are pretty kid proof. Kiddos can do nearly anything to it--"short" of sticking a metallic object into the front--and little harm will come to the speaker.
As for electronics and rack, I went the other way: an open rack with exposed tubes. Hey, they've gotta learn somehow!
(I kid; to an extent...)
