Babyproofing Stand-mounted speakers

Rives:
Excellent proposition regarding the toys!!!!
This is an audio forum but we have houses, wives, kids, less than perfect non dedicated rooms etc. i. e. real world.
As a matter of fact my living room doubles as music room and have a soon to be toddler in the house and my components are layed on the terrazzo floor actually I have large floor standers but was thinking about some kind of (aesthetic fence ?) to keep my kid outside trouble.

You might consider an audio rack with doors. The knobs are just way too much of a temptation.

Rives - If the lead were truly "sealed" inside of the stands, I would agree. Duct tape, on the other hand, is hardly a reasonable option. I'd rather risk a broken speaker or a physical injury than brain damage from a known toxic substance. I have 14 month old twins and a 4 year old and have used monitors almost exclusively since my first child was an infant. If you have heavy solid stands that can be filled (sand is nice and safe...cheap, too!) and have your speakers mounted (blu tack, screws, bolts, epoxy resin, whatever) they will be incredibly stable. I would recommend a pair of the Osiris stands that are being blown out by a couple of vendors here on AudiogoN. These are 42lbs each unfilled. Put some sand in them and you're up to about 65lbs. If you want more weight, you can buy some "Micro-Bearing" which is very fine steel pellets from Star Sound (http://www.audiopoints.com) and make them even heavier. Also, these stands have enormous brass cone feet which aren't the greatest for piercing carpet, but would be absolutely perfect on hardwood floors. Finally, I agree with what others have said about setting boundaries for your children and using the art of distraction to minimize temptations.

My two cents: Blu Tac is not epoxy! Although it makes a good sonic bond with the stand, it is very easy to break that bond just by pushing. No way would I bet on Blu Tack vs. a toddler in a wager to keep a monitor on its stand.

Fishing line or some sort of loose 'emergency' ceiling suspension system -you could hide it within some ceiling suspended fake plants or ??. Might be a way to make it look ok.

Ask the Wife! Do you really think your going to get aesthetically pleasing advice from a bunch of GUYS who think it 'would be nice' to put 400 lb wilson maxx's in the middle of their living rooms ?
