Colour me lucky - I have a separate room and co-operation/acceptance/approval/permission to do whatever I see fit. My wife on the other hand gets to horseback ride, and travel. We both work "extra" as musicians to help fund some of our respective hobbies, and we both try to be supportive of each others' endeavours.
Though she will shake her head from time to time at the expense, the audio room is usually given prime postion when she shows friends around the house, and everybody who comes here knows about "The Chair" and "The Spot".
Oddly enough my wife became much more appreciative of the sound of the big system when I put ESL speakers into it, and more oddly, so did many of her female friends. I wouldn't go so far as to say panels are a "girl thing", but I have noticed a marked difference in the attention level of woman who listen to music in my system since the arrival of the CLS IIz speakers. Anyone else notice somthing like this?
Even more oddly still, my wife has an excellent ear, yet gets way more use out of the crappy upstairs system. Go figure...
Garebear - maybe you should talk to the webmasters here about starting up "Girliogon"; the dating website for frustrated audiophile girls who are tired of dating guys with Cerwin Vega speakers.
