Kids? What age? If they can stick bobby pins and paper clips in wall sockets no speaker is safe from them. I had a kid who figured out how to remove those safety outlet covers. If they are beyond the age of self-electrocution they are entering the " what makes things tick stage". Adults play toys are cannon fodder with kids around. "Don't touch!" translated into kid think = explore later when mean adult is not around. Ain't parenting grand? Buy some used Bose in the interim. If destroyed no biggie.
Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile?
OK. Crazy question. Have friend who wants to set-up nice system in multi-purpose 17x22 room where kids will play. Wants to know if there are any hi-end spkrs (budget $5k-10k used) where the drivers are not so fragile or so expensive to replace (ie, he doesn't want B&W diamond tweeter that is both very fragile and costs $1200 or more to replace). Now, mind you, his kids aren't playing with knives, lol, but the occasional bump or finger touch to paper cones, metal dome tweeters are a concern. Any sugestions?
