Need help for wife acceptance

Yeah Dekay, Ernie does have his amp system "suspended" under the flooring. Besides being slightly neater in terms of less clutter to see, i don't doubt that this DRASTICALLY cuts down on the microphonics / transfer of vibrations to the amps too.

If you can't mount the amps under the flooring or find some other "convenient" way to hide them, you have no other choice but to play "hardball". As to what your wife has to say, tell her that she'll have to compromise on this one. Not only is it important to you, it is cheaper to keep the amps closer to the speakers and will sound better. In turn, tell her that she's got a "favor" coming the next time that you two disagree on something. Pick your "fights" and make them worthwhile. Otherwise, ruling with an "iron fist" has always worked for me : ) Sean

Piet, i have to warn you now before things get out of control. If you ever get your system running the way that you want, your wife WILL hear the difference and understand where you and the rest of us are coming from. In turn, she will go back to work at Bose, badmouth the company products and lose her job. Since times are tough right now, you might want to wait to get things "dialed in" until the economy picks back up somewhat. At least she'll be able to find a decent job if / when she does "speak the truth" to her bosses : ) Sean

PS... It took "guts" to admit where she works at : )
