I have an 11-year old son and a 7-year old daughter and have been pretty lucky(so far!). They don't bother the speakers. I never remove the grills when they are around so they don't really know there are drivers to poke or prod. When I used to have Vandersteen 1b's one of them got bumped, and being mounted to the Vanderstands, which have spikes in a tripod configuration to give the speaker a tilted back stance, caused it to fall diagonally into the corner of the room, marring the top oak cap. Ever since going with stand mounted speakers I've never had a problem.

Putting the grills on the speakers should help.

I seem to read into these posts that either a combination of siblings or friends over can be a cause for concern.

My daughter, now at almost 15 weeks of age has a way to go before poking and bumping things.

It gives me a little more peace of mind knowing that I will be going with the wall mounted speakers but I do still have the Monitor Audio towers to worry about.

Perhaps the home theater room will benfit from a dead bolt .

Or perhaps some caltrops fashioned from a child's set of jacks scattered around the speakers would work.

I have to admit that while I'm framing the basement I keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing by getting all excited about ordering my Axiom speakers only to have the two year old twins swoop down on them like a swarm of locusts. I really am considering looking at purchasing a downward firing sub just for that very reason and hopefully giving it a chance at life for at least a few years

He's go those bare-breasted statues from "The Neverending Story" posted on either side of the doorway to his theater.

>>> Ah, nostalgia. This thread makes me recall ghostbuster back packs and teenage ninja turtles <<<

LOL ... Sounds like our kids are about the same age Bruce. To be quite honest I do miss those days at times, they sure grow up in a hurry.

I hated that movie... pure, unadulterated hate. It was almost like they made it just for fantasy geeks like I was, but something just fell short... I wanted to give that nerd-kid a Colombian necktie and feed that big dog-dragon thing a poisoned steak.

Wow, you do hate everything!
