Kid-friendly is different than kid-proof. I'd recommend any floor standing speaker with a large footprint (can't be knocked over). When not in use keep the speaker grills on. Makes sure the cable connection is inaccessible and can securely keep the connection in the event of someone tugging/tripping on the cable. It's also my opinion that a speaker that can be place very close to the wall is more kid-friendly than one that requires freestanding placement.
Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile?
OK. Crazy question. Have friend who wants to set-up nice system in multi-purpose 17x22 room where kids will play. Wants to know if there are any hi-end spkrs (budget $5k-10k used) where the drivers are not so fragile or so expensive to replace (ie, he doesn't want B&W diamond tweeter that is both very fragile and costs $1200 or more to replace). Now, mind you, his kids aren't playing with knives, lol, but the occasional bump or finger touch to paper cones, metal dome tweeters are a concern. Any sugestions?
