Child-Proof Speakers
I have a six-month-old now and in the process of trying to child-proof the house. I'd like to keep the sound system in the living room, where the whole family can enjoy it, but concerned about the little one knocking something over, getting hurt in the process and/or breaking a valuable piece of equipment. I recently got a cover for my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum (so she doesn't get burned on hot output tubes) and bought an equipment rack with closable doors. The next step is potentially replacing my stand-mounted speakers (Sonics Anima) with less tip-able floor-standing ones with more robust drivers (less vulnerable to being prodded by child fingers). Any recommendations on speakers in the <$3000 range? I listen to mainly rock, reggae, world and jazz, and usually on vinyl. I really like the Sonics and Audio Physic sound as well but looking for other options too.

The ADS 710s, 810s, and 910s from the early 80 had terrific metal grills. There is NO way for a kid to access the drivers thru those. Floor stand them or mate them to the low-profile, tilted ADS stands or the Auralex SpeakerDudes stands and you'd have a fairly kid-proof setup. Those ADS speakers sounded damn good and can be purchased dirt cheap nowadays... http://www.auralex.com/sound_isolation_speakerdudes/speakerdudes.asp -RW- |
These would most likely do the trick: Vitavox Loudspeakers Note the "Blast-proof" models further down the page. |
Give it all up, I am sure more children to come. They need your undivided attention, not to mention the saving to their college funds. Listening to music is a distraction from good parenting. So, sell off the equipment for now. Once they leave for good, hopefully that is after college, build a new and better system. For now, learn to live off tunes on your iPhone. |
