Hi, here is the way to live with the Hifi bug and adopt a cool cat to keep you company. They pop right off when you want some tunes.That's a real exspensive driver in my home made Weemss Pipe,it's a 6.5 inch coax for 25 bucks a pair,Parts Express close out. But,it's a Vifa,and was made in Denmark before the Far East jumped in.Thats a Titanic driver in a homemade sup under the cat bed.I drive this rig with a real nice eBay find Heathkit AA-32 about 10 watts per channel.11:00 is about as old as.I ever need....Mark Korda
Follow Ups:
I used to put some bed sheets with a nice pattern and color over my Magnepans. A couple of binder clips in the back to make it look nice and neat and the cats never looked at them.
Regards,
Steve

Here is a simple way to protect my Dyna A 25's, Mark2's. Just a simple piece of cardboard with a bend and a deflated football on top.My cat has never challanged the pig skins.I redid the grills with burlap from the fabric store.It's more porous for letting sound thru than anything else other than no grills at all....Mark Korda

Here are the Speaks...Mark
We use a water squirter bottle...just say no and spray. After a couple times they behave and do not go there.This also teaches them what no means, and does not freak them out or hurt them.
.
I took regular plastic garbage bags and slipped one over each speaker covering the speaker completely in the bag.
Guess what? NO CHANGE could I detect in the sound quality (Reference3A DeCapo I speakers).
I was VERY surprised. And I would think that covering the speakers with the plastic bags would cause the cats to ignore them?

Hi Ghost and MHardy, the ADS 710 was one of my favorites that my friend ran about 1978. I was Dynatised but admit these 710's were special. Ghost,I became lost in the 1/700 table top Navy.Here is my stash in another cat cave room.On the right are some lobster trap cabinets I made for Dyna stuff.

Hi you guys, sorry about the spelling as my tablet changes the words sometimes.I do read them over before I air them.Here is my rack I had in my 1 room apt.in Portland Maine about 10 years ago.I went to a lumber mill and got 4 by 4's and some rough cut pine.I cut them up with a hand saw outside on tyhe steps.I ran out of room for these nutty audio projects so I built up off my old desk.See if you can recognize anything...Mark
I noticed during an interview with Jon Atkinson that a cat crawled over his Ayre gear then settled for warm for a nap.
Well, they also sound very good -- but the perforated metal grilles were very effective deterrents for kitty-scratchage. ;)

A pair of dump-find L-710 did family room duty for us in Massachusetts for nigh on a decade, replacing a pair of Polks with scratched-upon polyester grilles. Griswold was a great cat whose only vice -- was scratchin' on my Polks.
(sorry I don't have a photo handy with the grille installed
all the best,
mrh
Maybe?

Forgot the pic...Mark K.
Underneath it, looks like one of the ships from the TV show The Invaders .
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
Ghost, that's a plastic model kit of the German Hannebu,a flying saucer prototype the Germans were working on,also known as Der Glocke.The kit is 60 bucks and detailed to the max....Mark
At first I thought they might be jigsaw puzzles.
The Hannebu looks a lot like the flying saucers in The Invaders :

Here's the punchline. What threw me off was the (apparently) black and white image on the box lid. When The Invaders was in first run, we had a black and white TV, and I assumed the show was also in black and white.
Until I found the picture posted above.
I'm also a modeler, by the way, although I build cars. But I do prefer unusual subjects; station wagons, 4-door sedans, conversions to existing kits in order to make, say, a BelAir into a 150.
Too bad cats aren't frightened by flying saucers.
I needed heavily scented drier sheets to keep the cats away from the Maggies. Worked, but I think I might have killed few brain cells.
BTW, looks like you've one of the Tamiya 1/700th scale waterline ship kits.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
