What do you do when the kids come along?


Dear Friends,
Soon in a matter of 6 weeks I will be celebrating my nuptials and if all goes well I believe I can see kids on the horizon. I am curious how the birth of a new child may change your audio experience. I am wondering this since my speakers were bought used from a gentlemen on this web site (hi bruce, love the speakers) who sold them when he had his first child. Will I ever have time to listen to my music again? Is this yet another thing they didn't tell me about when I popped the question?

I have four kids ages 11, 14, 17, 19. I have been an audiophile for many years.
A) Get a sturdy and high stand. It wasn't my kids (of course) that presented a problem, it was their little friends that posed the greatest danger.
B) Select speakers that are fingerprint and finger-poking friendly. Watch out for speakers on tall flimsy stands.
C) Train them very early. Like you do when they're around a hot stove, lawn mower or swimming pool.
D) As they grow older, teach them to listen and enjoy.
E) As they grow, pass down older equipment. It presents a great excuse to upgrade!
