Where do you want your system to go when you go?
My 6'-4" hand-built speakers are a bit daunting for the average living room. On the bright side, when I'm gone they'll provide someone with very impressive outdoor speakers.  For one season.  
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
I woke up this morning feeling pretty good about life.  Read the thread.  Now I'm depressed.  I've tried various combinations of mood lighting, surfed the streaming services for various mood enhancing genres, but nothing seems to help.  Thought of... 
Mood lighting for listening
When the power indicator lights on my gear come to life it puts me in a netter mood — every time.  You guys who who never turn your equipment off must be in a good mood all the time.  
Many of us want to Changegrade instead of Upgrading
@sgreg1  "I did look into bass traps but my wife could not tell if her car was running or not!" Good one. FYI- I use Bose 201s in my boat house.  The catfish, turtles and ducks have never complained.

@sgreg1 Bose 901s in the garage?  Have you considered upgrading or changing the garage, and keeping the speakers?  
OK...here's another tweak that really works
Well played, brauser. My most memorable "tweaks" are the one's I approached with a high degree of skepticism.  Especially those that pegged the needle on my BS meter.  Then, "something" happened.  And, I think to myself: "I really wish I'd put my... 
Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?
I can’t say that I have first hand knowledge of cones moving when other speakers are playing.  But, I can say that I’ve noticed that my wife’s lips start moving when she objects to the music I am playing.  
Is blasphemous Music ok?
I think it's safe to say that we've entered new territory with this one. Repelling a person's most sacred beliefs in the most unglorious and unflattering way is not a way to make new friends.  My guess is that the "artists" in the examples here w... 
NEWS FLASH!! Listening to Music is NOT a "Distraction."
@tylermunns My neighbors are great. I do have a simple rule of having a zero footprint on those around me. Their outdoor experiece is their outdoor experience and I have no right to effect that in any way. So, I keep the volume down. Mr. Scorsese... 
Owning Up To It
@bdp24 Keyboardists just don't command the respect that hot guitar players do.  Everything Nicki Hopkins touched benefited from his presence.  Even the later QMS material.

@bdp24 followed up with 3 beautiful children and a white picket fence?  
What does Q mean in speaker specifications?
So, are we saying that any advice given here is a “Q-Tip”?  
NEWS FLASH!! Listening to Music is NOT a "Distraction."
@tylermunns Some people have more sensitive "antennas" than others.  While some music lovers are ecstatic with a course representation of a musical event, others demand nuance and full adherence to the artists' intent. For myself, "musical wallpa... 
Owning Up To It
@sns From the looks of things, more than a few of your brain cells made it though it pretty good shape. Mine goes something like this: Texas International Music Festival, Dallas, TX 1969. After BB King’s gig, we were tired and began the hike bac...

@normb I've got it to.  Some good days.  Some not-so-good days.  Anything louder than the noise is a plus.
