The Starlight Theatre has been temporarily shut down for a while. No movies, no TV, no music, no Wii, nothing for a little bit while I am gone for a few days for work, and after that, nobody is allowed in there without me. So there have been some consequences, of course most of the kids that were over have never been over before and won't be for a while anyway, so it really only punishes my daughter, who I don't think had a part of anything bad that happened. With that said, we have a rule at our house that if one of our kids' friends does something, that our kids are partially responsible as an attempt to get them to do the right thing even around their friends.

You did the right thing. If you had exploded you'd still have damaged speakers plus the whole neihgborhood would think of you as "the crazy speaker guy". Having said that- the damage would piss me off every time I went in the room, it would fester like an open wound. I'd suggest calling Axiom to see what a couple new FO empty enclosures would cost.

Nick, another agreement as to the suckiness of the situation.

Nick, I'm sure your daughter felt real bad about the situation as I know she helped you paint your HT rooms. She was probably saying, "what the heck are you guys doing, those are my dads speakers?".

Nick, I would have lost it and made it to the late-night news like Rick. I am sure your daughter is upset as well and likely appreciates your measured handling of the situation.
You may want to contact Debbie at Axiom to see what she suggests in fixing the M60 and VP150 cabinets.

nice work on keeping your cool. i would not be able. my under construction basement has a dedicated playroom for my two year old. it will always be her room. the HT will always be my room. we are setting up a nice little lobby / snack bar area with a 42" plasma too. she can have this area for viewing. there will be no sharing.
