Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers

Hello! I have an 8 month old baby and she's starting to get pretty nimble. Instead of playing with her baby toys, she enjoys trying to push over Daddy's Piega C10LTD speakers. They weigh around 130 pounds and are a bit wobbly. My wife says they have to go, and she's right, because if they somehow got knocked over they could cause a lot of damage.

So I'm now looking to find a pair of floorstanders that are baby-proof. What this means to be is VERY stable, nearly impossible to knock over. Also grills are a necessity to prevent curious fingers from damaging drivers.

These Piegas sound great ($27k list though I snagged them on ebay for $4k) and so I would like to find something with great sound quality, in particular:
  * Transparent & neutral
  * Big, dynamic sound
  * Full range

...and to make things even easier, I have a budget of $3k used.

Can you help me restore my stereo while making it safe for my baby? (and soon to be toddler!)

Thank you audio friends!

I have the same problem. My solution to protect the JBL L112’s and my toddler was to hide the speakers inside a cabinet.  
I got an ikea cabinet with solid wood doors. I cut the center out of the doors, and covered that new hole with upholstery fabric to let the sound through. Also added child-proof locks to keep everything shut.  
This may be an acoustically awful solution, but it will keep baby and the speakers safe for the next few years. Out of baby’s sight, out of baby’s mind.
