Childproof audio


Hiya!
Long-time reader, first-time poster.

The past year has seen the arrival in my home of sweet-sounding monitors on spiked stands, nice cabling, components... and an infant boy :-)

I hope someone can share their thoughts about childproofing a quality audio system in an average home.

Off the top of my head: Only buy grille-covered speakers. Somehow tether the speakers to prevent them getting knocked over.

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.
