In Reply to: Tips on keeping cats from clawing speakers? posted by Langdell on September 17, 2005 at 10:12:44:
I haven't read any of the other responses, but I have huge ESP Concert Grands - basically very large pentagons with acres of grill cloth. And I have five cats. After 9 years, there's nary a thread coming off the Concert Grands. The solution: I made a big cylinder of posterboard from a stationery store, with a little flap cut out to allow it to clear the speaker cables. It just involved taping the requisite number of pieces together on their longest side. I just slip the cylinder off and on over the top of the speakers. In fact, for most of my non-critical listening, I just leave the damn things on; they really doesn't seem to affect the sound as the bottom couple of feet is just two of the woofers.Now my longest cat, Watermelon Man, who can easily look over a table and can paw me in the back of the neck when I'm seated, could trivially stretch over the cylinder, which is just a couple feet high. In fact, I imagine most of the cats could stretch that high with difficulty, but again they seem to prefer to claw the rugs and the furniture and me. That's OK - the speakers are more important.
This isn't very aesthetic, and I keep thinking I should cover them with some sort of decorative coating - fabric or whatever. But I'm a lazy guy. And it works well - real well.
