just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof!

I've got a feral that lives in a different neighborhood than where I live. Every day I go over and feed her. She's in an area near the University of Cincinnati so the houses there are occupied by students who move out every year. And every year I I have to ask the new students if they'll let me set up her cat condo in the back yard. My guess is that eventually I may have to bring her to my apartment. Anyway, I was thinking of plastic mattress covers for my Quad 2905's. There's a tension bar on the back of the Quads so I'd have to modify the mattress covers for the back. I guess cut a slit in the mattress covers? If any of you have ideas that I might benefit from, please send me a private message.

Eight years ago I adopted two kittens, a brother and sister about 12 weeks old.  They were the most active kittens I ever had by far and ran roughshod over everything, knocking over lamps, vases, etc,and most destructively running up and down the cover sleeves  on my beloved Quad ESL-63 electrostatic speakers, snagging them badly.  When they grew to adulthood I had a chance to buy the US Monitor version of my Quads and I immediately rolled down the socks.  They haven’t bothered my new speakers!

Well this won't be popular, but I'd with to rescue dogs.

Sorry about that.

Enjoy...

I have a pair of Ohms -- their driver assemblies are inside a "top hat" case that prevents children's fingers and cat's claws from touching things they shouldn't touch. 

I admire you all with your creativity protecting your speakers whilst loving the children and cats. My story is one of my love of both cats and speakers. I own a pair monster speakers Technics (Matsushita) built. Cost no object only 40 pairs ever built. We got a stray female kitten many years ago and that beast climbed those speakers like they were trees! The funny part was she'd only do it when I returned from work to get my attention! Oh, I wanted to choke her sometimes. However, among the several great loves of life that I've been blessed with, felines are absolutely one of them. My gear will always have to co-exist.
