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?

Jeffkad- I have soundlab m2's and would not want any kids near them with sharp objects or even poking fingers;A kids toy hit in the area between the magnets would go right thru the mylar;either way I would not consider ESL speakers with kids;thats just my opinion though;it would be a costly repair.
If you do go that way I would have a custom sock made that would cover the panel for protection;that's the only protection you could do without moving them to a secure area when not being used;even with a sock covering penatration is still a concern.
