Following on from todays threads I thought it would be great to hear if anyone had some interesting stories to share regarding equipment failure / malfunction or general destruction bought about by dark forces beyond your control!
I once owned a big set of Cerwin Vegas which I had loved and cherished for a number of years. My partner at the time decided to add a frisky pair of kittens to our household (not my cup of tea, but what can you do).
Came out into the lounge room one morning to discover that they had learnt to jump up onto the speaker covers & grab on with their claws & hang on. Sure enough after doing this for however long surprise surprise the cover fell off to reveal a lovely soft 15" driver.
Not content to leave it there, they then proceeded to shred every single bit of both drivers right down to the bone |(
They left the tweeters intact!
I'd probably get banned from the forum if I told you how I reacted, but suffice to say my partner & her kittens parted ways not long after!!!
Still looking at the bright side, what better excuse could you have to go and buy a new set of speakers. My insurance company just laughed at me when I asked if I could claim the damage (worth a try though )
Surely some of you seasoned officianados can better that one?
