childproofing rear speakers

I have Snell K.5-2 rear speakers in the HT setup. They're 8.5 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 18 inches tall, and pretty heavy. Right now they're sitting on TV trays, but I need a childproof setup, as my infant is starting to crawl. Do I go with a stand that grips the speaker or one that has a very large base that the speaker sits on? Anyone with experience in this area? When I first looked a year or two ago, I didn't find any stands with grips that fit speakers this large. Any help/advice is appreciated. -Dave

How did you childproof your front speakers? Just put a childproof plastic fence around them? Electrical field? :)

Seriously, would be good to know. I'm getting worried as my six month old gets bigger and stronger - those beautiful Verities are prime targets for his abuse and explorations.

I'm assuming there's no back wall these are near? If so you can find the stud in the walls, you can mount them. Even if you can't find the stud - I imagine these aren't more than 40lbs or so?

I've seen ceiling mounts, but they're not attractive.

Boys... don't care what the nurture folks say, they're definitely different by nature! My little guy changed from an angel to a rambunctious little one in two weeks. There's trouble written all over him - and I love it.

We are of the same mentality on sharing the music for sure. Pass on the love of music - it's got to be a good thing. Good thing the Verity bass unit is backward facing, that will throw him off (for a few hours).

Cheers
