I mean no disrespect to any of the above audiophiles or anyone that reads this,but whos the man in the house? IF your partner can't enjoy or much less respect your hobby then theres something fundamentally wrong in the marriage.I don't mean to sound like a counselor,but GENTLEMAN if i'am providing and talking care of LIFES responsibility's and giving my wife and kids a good life, no one is going to tell me or question my in's and out's as what i do with my audio equipment.IT"S how i get away from the daily gridlock and hazzles of life.MUSIC is my medicine and she respects that.NO matter how often i change equipment.
HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems
We sold certain brand of black spkrs to a customer about a year ago. He wanted rosewood, but he bought black. Why? Because he figured he could swap the new spkrs with his old (about the same size) while his wife was out and figured she wouldn't notice. Did it work? Yes.
