just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof!

 I raised 2 kids and they never went near my speakers. Now I have 3 grandkids that so far haven’t touched them nor shown interest in them. I told them to stay away, and they abided.

they work fine for  preventing grandkids' fingers they are a big enough diameter and round so pretty stiff  the fingers cannot reach the speakers ! and cats reaching thru can't get close enough either 
always someone critical that does not think it through ! 
" Chicken wire won’t stop a finger poking 3 year old. Use Hardware Cloth instead. " 
OK not so acousticly transparent !
 this is good i have thought of it :
"My friend did this with his old ESS Heil Air Motion Transformer AMT-1A speakers in the late 1970s (which we thought were "high end"). He made some nice wooden frames to hold the chicken wire and back in those days he had to spray paint it black. He stained the frames the same as the speakers. Looked nice and didn't seem to affect the sound at all. He had two kittens and had never had cats before so it was all a learning experience. Worked fine. Grilles were never scratched." 

Secure the frames across the top of speakers w/ some velcro pads ? 
I had to safety wire my speakers to wall W/ an anchors  the way you do w. shelves and dressers & TV's now  as one kid grabbed it tipped it over ! and it almost fell over on him! - Big tall tower speakers! could have crushed the little guy ! OUCH could have been a tragedy ! 
thx all 

One day all audiophiles will have their own stash of Tetryon Radiation and will Cloak anything they don't want found.

The Perfect Tool for the Wife, keep the $100 Bookshelf Speakers on display with the $100K Wilsons set up behind them in their Cloaked State.

$100 Speakers will never have sounded better. 

Not to mention the micro-refraction benefits. 😀

I've got a feral that lives in a different neighborhood than where I live. Every day I go over and feed her. She's in an area near the University of Cincinnati so the houses there are occupied by students who move out every year. And every year I I have to ask the new students if they'll let me set up her cat condo in the back yard. My guess is that eventually I may have to bring her to my apartment. Anyway, I was thinking of plastic mattress covers for my Quad 2905's. There's a tension bar on the back of the Quads so I'd have to modify the mattress covers for the back. I guess cut a slit in the mattress covers? If any of you have ideas that I might benefit from, please send me a private message.
