John is right - mount them on the walls high up near the ceiling pointed down and modify the grill (add a wire grill) so they can't be damaged by a basketball. However, why anyone would want $10K speakers in their garage is a bit puzzling to me.
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?
