Maggie's and cats


I am thinking of taking the plunge on a pair of Maggie 1.6's for my second system (surround system). They seem like the best sound I can get for the money. I have two great reservations however named Heebee and Geebee.......... my two cats. I had the speakers home for a couple of days for audition with no troubles, but can just imagine walking in the door one night to find they have been turned into a huge jungle gym/scratch post by my two manx'. Is anyone out there in a similar situation? Has anyone found any solutions to the problem. Up until now I had not even considered these speakers for this very reason; thing is I really like the sound (and value).

Thanks

Ask Magnepan for some of their plastic slip-0n covers (the ones that are used when the speakers are initially shipped). Several years ago they sent me several pairs at no charge.

I use the covers whenever I'm not listening to the speakers, and my Cornish Rex has never even paid any attention to them. Plus--using the covers keeps dust off. My speakers (3.5Rs) are seven years old and still look like new.
