My most common responses are "...sounds good" and "Wow...there's a lot of detail", but my favorite came from a friend who, after listening for awhile said "Her voice is coming from there" pointing to my center channel speaker. When I told him that the it wasn't on he walked over and put his ear to it. He just couldn't believe it.
Tell us compliments received on your system...
So, it is common for a non-audiophile to doubt the need for high-end gear. Describe a compliment you remember from one of these folks when they hear your set-up.
I had one a while back that was kinda fun. Fellow saw my Dyn monitors and severely doubted they produced the bass that he was hearing. I told him there was no sub on- he looked all over until he found my sub in the corner. "What's this then?" he asked. "It's not on" I said, then I went over and turned it on. The sub is real clean- now he complained it wasn't boomy enough. I thought that was quite a compliment-even tho he didn't know it. Heheh ;-)
