No big deal. I've been a solitary listener for over 30 years and am quite used to it. Nobody in my extended family (whom I love dearly) has ever given 2 hoots about it. Had a few lifelong friends, no longer with us, who shared my bizarre musical tastes but were always more concerned with just staring at the stacked Acoustats and asking how loud they will go as opposed to actually sitting in the sweet spot and listening to them properly.
