Good job in keeping calm... I don't know if I'd be able to! Kids can be so disrespectful nowadays (I don't think kids are as much to blame as their parents for raising them that way though).
Accidents happen and kids will be kids, but that's just a downright lack of care for other people's property. I see it all the time in the highschool where I work.

But I don't think I could eat a whole one.

Thanks for the story Nick, it's good birth control for my wife and I. Man that just totally sucks, I would have completely lost it. I would have made all the kids (together) pay for a new speaker, if no one fessed up for the original knock over. Sooner or later one of them would rat out who really did it.
Unfortunately, my wife would probably make me take it all back after I go upstairs and tell her what I just did...

But I don't think I could eat a whole one. Your beer is too filling. Time to ditch the "tastes great" stuff and go for "less filling". Still, we're talking a fairly small child here. Not one of those big, fat ones.

LOL
Honestly, I have had similar sceanrios happen here. I hold my child accountable.
Was it their fault? My response is, It was someone's, and certainly not mine. I didn't ask these people over; you did. As such, you are accountable for their actions. As you will be when you are in the working world and they are your reports.
Offer them the mature aspect, a reasonable recovery plan (all negative actions require a recovery plan) and while they may not like you more now; they will most likely be more ready for the professional world.

Someone should make a short video clip for home theaters like they do in the movie theaters about turning off cell phones etc.
This one could be aimed at scareing the crap out of the kids if they go near or hit the speakers they explode!
Or just a clip of a speaker getting damaged and a father crying! And then going to the garage to get his chain saw!!!!
