Summary

  • Parents get creative with PMMA disks to protect speakers from tipping.
  • Some reminisce about metal grilles from the 90s.
  • Questions arise about sound quality and vibrations post-baby-proofing.

Protective Measures

“As our son is eager to learn crawling, I ordered some PMMA disks to make nice stands. Heavy speakers can easily kill small children,” shared Affenskrotum. Safety first!

Nostalgic Grilles

“I really dig the way metal grilles look. Maybe it’s my age, growing up in the era of 90s boomboxes,” confessed cabs84, reminiscing about the past.

Sonic Integrity

Marvoloo asked about sound quality post-baby-proofing. Does baby safety sacrifice audiophile bliss?
