Monitors are falling


I am soliciting advice ... opinions even ... on what to do with my rig. My stand mounted B&W CDM-1SEs were almost the victim of a knock down over the weekend ... by my wife of all people. This started the 'this is a living room not a media room' diatribe. Insult to injury is the fact that our first child is on the way. I beg you for suggestions ... ideas tto make the CDMs more stable or a really nice floor stander that I can get into in the $1,000 - $1,500 used range. All opinions are welcome and appreciated.

I would suggest the Vandersteen 2Ce or 2Ce Signatures with the Sound Anchor stands. These speakers sound good and the stands are tri-points which tilt them back a little, and best of all, they are are SUPER stable. There is a grill all the way around which may be useful too. In response to the ML post above, I have Martin Logan Sequel II's and they are NOT very stable, when you tilt them a lot you run the risk of knocking them over.
Good luck.
It's surely not an upgrade, I know Acoustat and ML I have Acoustat 2+2 for myself and I have friends with Acoustat III and other with ML SL3 and the Acoustat's owner never thought to change and the ML's owner always thought to change but he never found a pair of Acoustat, sorry to tell this but if you think your Acoustat is not good I think you don't drive them with good electronics or you don't have find the good position for placing them.
The woofer of the ML Sl3 give shit compare with a good sub
like Velodyne or other good one. Try a good fast sub with your Acoustat and you never think to change them. Put your money on electronics and keep your Acoustat, you are lucky to have a pair of this divine and indestructible speaker.
BOLT your stands to the monitors' bottoms, then GLUE the stands' bottoms to marble/granite slabs that are then coned (spiked) to the floor. Your babe will NOT knock them over!
Not sure about your wife, however...!
Good idea, Subaruguru! I owned a pair of Platinum Solos which were bolted to their sand-filled stands. Total weight of approximately 80lbs per speaker. My first child grew up with them (age 0-3) and they NEVER came close to tipping.

Teach children respect and self-control. That being said, it's also important to limit your risk of an accident - both for you AND your children.

Congratulations!!!!
