I recently used option 2 successfully (masking tape), after I left my 2 year old briefly unsupervised with the grills off. I'll never make that mistake again! Unfortunately the metal dome tweeter did not fare as well and I had to replace it. This was over at my in-laws house after just installing their brand new HT, so leaving things dented was simply not an option.

Dan, I wouldn't count on the grills stopping a two year old at all. Mine was in the habit for awhile of "patting" the speakers.

Ken, I think she's like me - sees something shiny and gets all focused on it Put the grills on and there's nothing shiny to attract her! There's good and bad to this story. The good - it wasn't my speakers The bad - it was my in-laws brand new Paradigms that I just installed for them. I could not leave them with 'damaged goods' that my kid caused. However our local dealer replaced the tweeter under warranty. That was pretty darn nice of him given the cause.

That was no problem for him and he most likely gets reimbursed for his troubles for doing so as it was done under 'warranty'.
My oldest son took a stick to the aluminum section of one of the drivers on my M22's way back when, because I had left the grills off, luckily only a tiny dent was the result and I can not hear any differences.

so got an email from Noreen..they shipped the tweeters and fedex is taking it own time I tried the tube-vacuum option and it didnot work.. will give the masking tape a try when my 2 yr old is at daycare. She loves music and also wants to pat the M80 for a job well done. With my second kid due in May, i dread what will happen to my beloved M80s. This one is a boy..so more electronics inclination and destruction..hope Axioms comeout with some M100 in a few years and we all can upgrade once kids are grown up. If the new tweeters do not fix the issue, this M80 will have to go back..i guess.

Prolly too late but I'd take lots of pictures before the delivery guys get hold of it.
