Childproof audio

Hiya!
Long-time reader, first-time poster.

The past year has seen the arrival in my home of sweet-sounding monitors on spiked stands, nice cabling, components... and an infant boy :-)

I hope someone can share their thoughts about childproofing a quality audio system in an average home.

Off the top of my head: Only buy grille-covered speakers. Somehow tether the speakers to prevent them getting knocked over.

Hello Unsound:

It would appear that I was unaware of a problem that was far larger than I first thought. Please accept my most humble apologies in good faith.

I still beleive that proper limits set and adhered to make good children and responsible adults. I love mine dearly, however I always felt that my life had it's considerations that were important as well. Music has and always will be my stress relief valve. I needed it when the kids were young sometimes more than now.

Best,

Paul :-)

Back when I grew up, children were expected to follow the rules of the home. Forgive me if I differ in opinion from another poster.

These days it appears there is a disease to fit every problem, rather than an expectation of reasonable behavior from the children of today.

Having raised two children, now adults, who passed through college and are now successful and well-adjusted adults, it would appear to me that the "old-fashioned" way still works.

"Falling TV's" .....give me a break. Why not make all your rooms padded and have nothing in the house. Life is not without risk, at any age. Setting proper and responsible limits for children works quite well, tempered with common sense.

Best,

Paul :-)
