kids and speakers

[admin_exported]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice after my kids have blown the drivers on a second pair of speakers 🙁

Admittedly i'm revisiting my youth somewhat as i used to spend every penny i earned as a teenager on hi-fi separates (the bigger & blacker the better :O )

Now I am older and (a little bit) wiser I want to replace the blown speakers (tannoy 605's i think & a good old pair of JBL Control 1's)

My Pioneer amp @ 75w per channel still sounds great and clearly has some life left in her as the kids keep whacking her up to vol 11

This is a childhood ambition I think but I am strangely drawn to Bose 301's (series IV) as i noted on the Bose website "Automatic protection circuitry prevents drivers from being overdriven "

Does this effectivly mean I am now child-proof??

Does this feature appear in other book-shelf speakers or am I just being sucked in by the slick bose website & jargon?

Your thoughts will be much appreciated

I'm sure the Bose automatic protection will work. I used to have a pair of B&W bookshelf speakers many years ago which cut out and displayed a red LED if you overdrove them. They were bombproof.
