Are Maggies Cat Proof?


HEY GANG, HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO PICKING UP A PAIR OF USED MAGGIES IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS. PROBLEM IS MY LIVE IN GIRLFRIENDS CAT "WHICH IS DECLAWED" LIKES TO USE MY PRESENT SPEAKERS AS A SCRATCHING PAD. FORTUNATLY THE POLK AUDIOS I HAVE HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED OTHER THAN STRETCHED OUT CLOTH COVERS IN SPOTS. IM WONDERING IF THE MAGGIES WOULD GET TRASHED OR DAMAGED FROM THE SAME ABUSE. I KNOW A GOOD WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT GETTING RID OF THE CAT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. BELIEVE ME I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I.E. I THINK IM ALLERGIC ECT. DID NOT WORK.

I would build the cardboard slipcovers mentioned above. Yes, if kitty scratches your current grills, kitty can hurt maggies. :-(

When I lived back home and had Acoustats, I took the 5kv bias wire from the panel's transformer and touched them to each "curious" kitty's nose. It didn't hurt (read: kill) them, and they quickly lost interest in the ENTIRE STEREO forever. Can't really do that with Maggies though.

I say the cardboard slipcovers or a locked, dedicated room. Also some cats like to chew on the cables and hot sauce works well in that case. :-/
