Wife Acceptance Factor

Being single, I don't know, but has it ever happened.. even once, where a guy is thinking about buying a nice amp, and his wife says; "You know honey, that amp is sweet, but why don't we just buy some new mono blocks. I think our Vandersteen 5A's would sound better and we'd be less likely to upgrade in a year." ..maybe that's what it will be like in Heaven.

Classical1, ROTFLMAO!!!

That was funny, thanks.

I read threads like this and realize how many straight men really dislike women, and vice versa. I agree with some of the other posters - some people have definitely made a regretable mistake in choosing their life partners. :-(

Being one of the single straight guys here, I would guess that very few of these 'straight' men "dislike" women. I would also bet that if they're not happily married that audio equipment is not the root cause of that. I think a lot of this post is 'tongue in cheek'.. yet for whatever reason, 'guys' are into audio. I admit I'm obsessed with music and have wondered forever why that is a "guy thing". The 'WAF' is very real. To me that doesn't mean one is sexist or dislikes women. Most women I've known are far more intelligent than I am... It would just be an added blessing to share your life with someone who shares your love of music. :)

Luckily, I found a fantastic set of speakers on deep discount that also double as art (in my and my wife's opinions - EgglestonWorks Fontaines). So I deftly side-stepped the whole, "you're not putting that big ugly wrong-colored box in our living room". Although I am restricted as to how far from the wall they are allowed to sit. There are lots of beauties out there from which to choose thess days ... speakers as well as women. Choose wisely.
