Can you be an audiophile if ...


Okay, I'm evaluating my system. Finally, I have my speakers elevated so that their realm of projection and soundstage meshes seamlessly in the family room. You see, I don't have a dedicated listening room. In fact, my system shares space in the family room with the furniture. My question is then, can one be satisfied as an audiophile if you have a piece of furniture that you sit on, placed between your speakers? I have just such an arrangement. It's not like that's where I sit to listen to the music when I'm really sitting down to listen to the music, but it's there nonetheless. And yet, it sounds pretty damned good, I think.

Hmmm,
Sounds like the couch may be a secret tweek. I'd have to move it out of the room to find out though. Then again, the other definitions may apply as well. More money spent on software, or hardware? It may be a toss up. One of the problems is finding time to listen to all the software I've bought, so I think I'm ahead of the game as far as variety goes. Does my stereo cost more than the car? Well, some components were bought used, as were the cars/motorcycles/and one bicycle. One New bicycle costs more than my Turntable? Hmm, that's all a close call too...
Living with furniture is important. I could afford a larger house with a dedicated listening room, if I didn't spend so much on audio. Maybe that alone makes me an audiophile?
