I had this idea, I was trying to convince the wife that our life would be oh so much more fullfilling if we bought a 2 channel system. Of course she does not see the value as our home theatre system, frankly sounds pretty darn good for two channel audio...but you know how it is, I want a dedicated system for the living room and keep the theatre in the basement.
So I thought that to convice her, I would take her to see one of the internationally acclaimed R&B guys that come to town (Albert Collins) who played in a nice smokey bar downtown. I buy the CD and play it for her at home, and she will be convinced that our sound sucks! and we need a proper two channel set up.
So I did it, she said "Well, it certainly sounded so much better when he was playing 10 feet from us, then this CD sounds"
Yeah thats the drag about our system, its really meant for movies...
Well maybe we should check out a system for upstairs then... WOOO HOOOO I thought
After listening to some systems in the 2K to 5K range, she said to the salesman "you know something, this sounds really good, but nothing like the energy and enveloping sound at the live gig we went to.
the bugger says to her, look to get that kind of sound at home you will have to spend considerably more than 5 grand...thats when she shut down
'Well it sounds almost as good, I start to whine" No, no, no she said that was very special that sound at the bar, we laughed, we danced, it was like we where dating again, I had so much fun, we absolutely have to go out more often.
DRAT! Anyways, anybody else try a ploy like this with success?
Failed for me, I have turned into quite a house mouse since marrage and really do not like going out anymore, especially since we moved from downtown to suburban hell
