she also knocked over one of the theil 3.5's, which happened to have its fall cushioned by a cheapie plastic table, which sacrificed itself for the good of the speaker - only a tiny dime-sized hole in the side of the grille-cloth.
my current monitors are stand-mounted - on 3 ball-bearings! w/kids, this is *asking* for trouble! well, the dawtah got one of 'em once, & the son got 'em twice. fortunately, no kid-damage, only a few chips on the back-edge of one of 'em. good thing these tings are built like mini-tanks. also a good ting the youngest, is at age 5 now - it's been almost two years since any speaker-jumping has ocurred chez-sedon. both kids can operate everything except the turntable - i tink the dawtah could do that, if she could reach it! :>)
of course, no one cleans the stereo, (except me, once in a while!); the only real rule is: NO PLAYING AROUND THE SPEAKERS!!!!!! :>)
