Mewsickbuff, what a great post...jogs a few memories of my own. Dunno how ’rare’ female audio buffs are exactly, I just know I don’t see posts like that every day. Thanks!
To all: My wife and I have gone round and round in the past about my system. Me: "I **Have** to move the speakers out into the living room, it’s really the best place for them!!" Her: "The best place for those speakers is out in the yard!!" Lol! She really objects to their looks more than anything else (while still small, they Are rather ugly ducks, I’ll give her that), but we each take comfort in the fact that we will be building a new home fairly soon...I get the dedicated room and she gets control of the living space back. She used to object to the sound to a degree, but, as I’ve steadily improved things over the years, things have turned around a bit. I’m convinced that she hears better than I do (I do get too close to my work with it, at times, to remain objective) and she often has been able to spot problem areas in the sound quality, even long before I felt I did, really.
Cheers!
