I had Maggies 37 years ago, when my daughter was just a toddler. For some reason, she never went very close to them and they were about 3' out from the rear wall. My son was born much later after the Maggies were replaced. I never would have trusted him anywhere near them.

Mine are in the basement away from the usual family gathering places. I installed the Mye Stands and use very heavy counterweights so there is very little change of the 20.7s tipping over even if pushed hard.

In my view, this depends on where you want to install the panels. Main family room might not work well, but a dedicated listening space should be ok.

To keep little kids away from your gear, all you need is this:

or as it was known in the Star Trek episode, the "Collar of Obedience"

I have two cats that I inherited when my daughter got married. I made covers out of heavy thick clear plastic. So far no issues. Plus now I don't let they in my music room.

I was a Magnepan dealer for many years. I could write a book. "Kids and Cats and Magnepans". Never a good idea.
