LOL!!! I've prepared for that: the listening room has a very solid lock to keep cats and kids away from speakers and other stuff...

No, I'm a vegetarian. Seriously. [-X :lol:

That's happened here too. Many years ago I took Paddy to the vet to have him neutered. The day after he took his horrible revenge. This poor BNS E24 (my first fairly serious pair of speakers) was professionally demolished. :( :evil:

Surrounds and dustcaps can be replaced. He's stuck. :lol:

That's very true. I did, however, utter some words which I shall not repeat here upon discovering Paddy's act of revenge...

Nice thread and a good reality check.

Cats and speakers are a bad combo, that's why I now own a yellow Lab.

There has been a bit of a reshuffle here. As the bathroom was adjacent to the listening room and not to the upstairs bedroom, my SWAMBO requested that I swap the listening room and the bedroom. And as it's very VERY unwise to argue with a pregnant woman I complied with her request immediately...

Looking at your room makes me miss my man cave.... :cry:
Lost it when we moved four years ago.

Old cave:

Your side of the living room looks quite nice though (love the old-skool heater BTW). And it could be worse: having no side of the living room at all and a partner who thinks that those speakers are way too big for her house....

Anyway, if you're ever in the neighbourhood you're more than welcome for a listen and a wee dram of whisky...
