Thank you all for your responses thus far.
Snook2 - did you own the Wolcott monoblocks and if so did you think that the Manley was superior to them? I've heard such great things about the Wolcott's although a bit pricey.
Jab & Jeffloistarca - I'm sure you didn't mean it but the tones of your emails make it sound like I'm an idiot for not considering teaching my daughter what & what not to touch; what you've said is common sense and doesn't need to be said. Come on guys, how about answering the question (What other brands of amps have cages on them to prevent small prying fingers from touching hot tubes?) and leaving your parenting ideologies aside. Let's be pragmatic - the best risk is no risk so regadless of whether I've tought her, regardless of whether she's listened, and regardless of whether she may have a developmental delay let's address the danger of hot equipement.
Thank you Unsound for so poignantly articulating the issue - you sound like you might be an MD or Ph.D in psychology based on your sensitivity to the issue. The only downside to putting the amps on top and tethering it to the wall to prevent it from toppling over is that it'll be too high to turn on & off - the wife isn't about to find a chair to climb up to turn on the stereo.
