Childproof audio

I've said this before here on Audiogon. One can not expect young children to follow house rules, even if the rules are for the childs own safety. This is the very essence of maturity. Some developmental disabilites may not be evident until 2 years of age. These disabilites are becoming much more common than once thought. Autism which is rarely diagonsed before two years of age strikes 1 in 166 now. Falling TV's have caused fatalities. Please consider ther rules of risk management. Does the the benefit of the risk outweight the consequences of the risk?

We did exactly as Sammie did, we now have a 6 year old daughter who thinks of the Audio Room as Daddys "indoor toy". Daddy doesn't play with my toys... I don't play with daddys' toys, unless daddy is supervising me. BTW she loves music and dancing and thinks TV just "sucks your brains out"

Back when I grew up, children were expected to follow the rules of the home. Forgive me if I differ in opinion from another poster.

These days it appears there is a disease to fit every problem, rather than an expectation of reasonable behavior from the children of today.

Having raised two children, now adults, who passed through college and are now successful and well-adjusted adults, it would appear to me that the "old-fashioned" way still works.

"Falling TV's" .....give me a break. Why not make all your rooms padded and have nothing in the house. Life is not without risk, at any age. Setting proper and responsible limits for children works quite well, tempered with common sense.

Make own box stands that match monitors..Fill with rock and sand.Then get tie down winch that willconnect to floor (will need repair later adm,itedly/Use excess to not around wich down mechanism..Use blue tack between speakers and stands.ZSounds redicul;ous but m,ay be safest.Other option is floor stander (my busddies Thile had 4" deep cement filled front baffl;es.Man geting them up a flight of wide stairs was murder and i wiegh 250+ not not all flab mid you).Trget makes wall mounts for tun tables and they in addition to keeping gear high and out or reach also have lss vibrationb and beter sound than would floors.Could also make L shaped wall mounts (still trying to keep monitors tweeter as close to ear level as possible).just use hevay oak have carpenter build and give enough breathing room easpecailly if speaker iis rear poted but geting them at leasta foor out is best for sound.Rember locks on low cabinets.my step brother just had one of his twin swallow a 2:" nail (came out find no blood in stool).Look for best AC receptacle pugs unsued.HT should be a problem.Sub isn't dangerours just use lot's of velcro to hold center onm top of TYV or get speaker mounts.Can you fence off area wherer speaker are?Been kicking a lot of this aroun with step brother.Remember wall mounts have less danger and beter sound for components.Atandrad CD/LP racks cabn be bolted ionto wall studs.
