This is a great thread
Besides killing guests for putting drinks on speakers and then using their chalk lines as deterrent for others (dont get me wrong this is brilliant plan) are there any more practical suggestions, or at least ideas for a good legal defense strategy. I would image that protecting you speakers can be considered self defense.
My fear is kids, we have 4 months old. He hasnt discovered the joy (for him) of touching my gear yet, mostly because he cant walk yet. But we have many friends that have toddlers. Fingers on drivers and hands on hot tubes have me a little worried for this holiday season.
I like to keep my speaker grills on and push the speakers back, black on rose wood is a little less appealing to toddlers then shinny chromes driver cones.
I was thinking of putting some cork board on top of my speakers, so if some suicidal guest manages to set a drink down at least it wont be on the wood. The only problem is that the guests may take this as an invitation to use the speakers as a bar table. And what if the drink spills
I need to think of something less stressful. Horseface, Gewurztraminer from Alsace, and only from Alsace, pairs really nicely with crab and lobster. I also like German wines like Riesling Spaetlese (late harvest) from Mosel is also great. Both these wines are on the sweet side, but a good quality bottle will be nicely balanced and pair really well with seafood.
Enjoy the holidays!
