Same here that's why I'm into headphones in a big way. When everyone goes to sleep, that's when I get rocking. Check out www.head-fi.org to learn more about headphones and headphone amps from a very nice and knowledgeable bunch of headphone geeks. You can put together a world-class cans & amp system for much less $$$ than a pair of top flight speakers and an amp to power them.
The listening constraints have been lifted
I don't know about anyone else, but living in a busy house of five (3 teen agers) along with all the associated sports and school activities, I find precious few times that I can turn up my rig to the levels I like to. Today my wife and girls are at a wedding shower, my son is at work, I'm home alone! I just threw in some Keb' Mo' and turned it up so I can enjoy it throughout the house. Sure there is yardwork to be done and cars to clean (not to mention the honey-do-list). Now, I enjoy my family immensely, however, it's "me-time" and the listening constraints have been lifted, I'm a happy man!
Anyone else live with "listening constraints"?
