Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made....


I'm interested in the most significant audio sacrifice you made in the name of maintaining domestic harmony / bliss, such as giving up your Pass XA 160 monoblocks. You know, the concious decision one audiophile makes like where we weigh our loved ones on an imaginary scale: sweetie or monoblocks, sweetie or monoblocks, and the former wins out but not without extreme pain (and sometimes regret).

Significant others are also eligible.

John,
Lots of good amps out there with concealed tubes: Audio Note, Audiomat, VAC, Rogue, Tom Evans, etc. Also, many of the Canary models have them in the back, out of sight. A friend had some nice-looking cages built for his as well.
Enjoy!
Howard,

Yes, I know, but I looking for a fully balanced design to go with my all BAT system. That's what I meant by looking for certain ones. I have a list of requirements on top of my wife's no naked toobs requirement.
We just built a house because she wanted to live on a lake.
Fortunately, I needed a better room, so it was not that difficult to decide.
