Child-Proof Speakers


I have a six-month-old now and in the process of trying to child-proof the house. I'd like to keep the sound system in the living room, where the whole family can enjoy it, but concerned about the little one knocking something over, getting hurt in the process and/or breaking a valuable piece of equipment. I recently got a cover for my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum (so she doesn't get burned on hot output tubes) and bought an equipment rack with closable doors. The next step is potentially replacing my stand-mounted speakers (Sonics Anima) with less tip-able floor-standing ones with more robust drivers (less vulnerable to being prodded by child fingers). Any recommendations on speakers in the <$3000 range? I listen to mainly rock, reggae, world and jazz, and usually on vinyl. I really like the Sonics and Audio Physic sound as well but looking for other options too.

I installed Joseph Audio Insider speakers in my wall about 5 feet from the floor. They have a metal grill and sound like a great stand mount. I run the speaker cables below the floor and up inside the wall from my rack that is protected by a baby cage. This is a fairly baby proof system that the whole family enjoys for around 12 hours a day.
I do miss my Vienna Acoustics Beethoven floor standers but I don't miss the stress of worrying about them getting knocked over and crushing my kids.

Cheers,
Jim
