RAAL tweeters: Child proof?

You could protect them further by making a simple screen in front of them, either flat or curved. Perforated metal mesh with hexagonal holes has a very large open area and would be plenty strong enough to protect from damage. Here's an example: Perforated material punched with hexagonal holes

Yeah, that place is good. They made my grills for the rear of my baffles. They'll do a roundover on the edges too which can help avoid a sharp corner for little fingers to find.

You could possibly remove the mesh that they use and install grill cloth instead, may have more strength to stop fingers reaching the ribbon. Don't know the effect on the sound but would be no different to installing external grilles l assume.
 
Yeah, the screen material(think a screened in porch) seems to be plastic and could be easily torn through. But, the ribbons ARE affordable and pretty easy to replace if you have a little heat gun to re-tension the ribbon once installed.

Alexander has posted a YouTube video detailing the proper steps for replacement:

And for some reason he doesn't want people on mobile devices to be able to view it, which is just odd.😕
