Both pets and children are notoriously curious and providing them with access to your audio components is not the best idea. You’d be better off choosing a closed audio tower that keeps paws and little fingers away from delicate equipment and limits the temptation to climb the tower. An audio tower with a robust cable management system can also keep wires out of curious hands and mouths and cut down on tripping hazards. If the audio tower doesn’t include a locking mechanism, you might want to secure it with a childproof lock.
