Ah yes, I remember those days all too well. I have some advice for the unitiated. If anyone has little tykes running around the house or apartment, I have knowledge of the perfect audio setup. First, buy the cheapest 2 channel stereo receiver you can buy, probably something like KLH or Aiwa. Next, mate them with circa 1979 Technics tower speakers, much like the ones I have in storage in my basement. That way if something is wiped on them or little fingers make a new whole you won't really care. Who needs tweeters anyway? Don't worry about surround or rear speakers, the little loved one will just tear them off the wall or tip them over. Forget about a subwoofer, the interconnects are a temptation that small ones just won't be able to resist.
