@knock1 I had no idea that outrigger kits were even a thing !!
Kids, Dogs, and Speakers
We have 2 dogs (25 lbs and 35 lbs) who tear around the house and preschool grandchildren. I like the sound of my Spendor A4s, but they are very narrow and top-heavy, and we worry they could be unintentionally knocked over (mercifully, this hasn't happened yet). We need speakers which are harder to knock over. This is the room we spend the evening in, so we can't exclude kids or pups.
Our budget is $7k to, at a stretch, $15k. I'm considering the KEF Meta R11 meta, the Sonus Faber Olyimpica Nova 2 and 3, and the Spendor D7.2 (which are wider and have a lower centre of gravity than the A4s). I ruled out the Sonetto 8s and Dali Rubicon 8s because the lowest speaker is vulnerably close to the ground. I like the extra stability that the outrigger feet give the KEFs and the Sonus Fabers.
I need to find things that I can audition in the section of the East Coast from New York to Washington DC.
Do you have any recommendations for speakers that are harder to knock over?
Thanks!

@knock1 having gotten my significant other to agree to new speakers, I'm not going to pass on that opportunity |
I’ve owned many Spendors and Harbeths. I enjoyed all of them. I have been using the Harbeth HL5 Plus for the past year and IMHO it betters all the the others! This place is in your neck of the woods. Place them on nice stands and they won’t budge! http://bekhifi.com/productList.php?product_line=12&product_type=19 |
