How much?

I do like the sound my system produces, I just don’t have that set apart listening room. That would double or triple my listening. Those of you who do how fortunate you are! And it’s surely acoustically superior to my living room. The room where my wife and daughter do her homework. And I have to be quiet. School rules and I don’t disagree. Sadly this is the only room in my house that will accommodate the gear. And I’m not moving so it’s on me.

Just wanted to gauge against others who surely have invested a lot into their systems as well.

Thank you for your responses!

Why so hostile, tostados? Tom just posted about his preferences. What's it to you?

 @wolf_garcia.  so funny...us retired guys..we need to start a sub group....

@tomcarr i get plenty of non background listening in.....but yes i do use the vintage system in my work room as background....and now and then when something jaw dropping happens, i just listen.....

At least half of my listening time is thru headphones, not at all the same but at least something.

terry9, I take umbrage at the statement "The other posters are listening as background music."  Is there a 2-hour-per-week limit to serious listening?
