How Cool Is My Wife!


I thought my wife was pretty cool when we moved into our new house and she said, "Honey why don't you take the best room in the house for your dedicated listening room." I thought that was pretty cool, a 27" X 14" room for my gear (And boy is it a great sounding room). Well this year I almost droped dead when for my birthday she gave me a pair of Maggie 1.6's! I know what your thinking gentlemen. She's mine and she's a keeper!

Currently living in a cramped (by American standards!) house in England, but my wife let me add four 15" x 15" x 60" Cube Traps for bass treatment! And she only winced a little at the $600 shipping bill!
Having thought about my previous posting, it occured to me that none of us who are married could not possibly enjoy this hobby to its fullest without a lot of understanding from our spouses. Those of you who suffer from a less-than-supportive spouse are probably reading some of these postings with envy, and asking "how can I get my wife to be like that?" Well guys, there is in fact a BIG SECRET! And for absolutely no charge, I'm prepared to reveal it here! So hold on to your hats, here it is: RUB HER FEET. Yes, it's that simple. When you settle down for a movie or a listening session, you pour her a glass of wine, settle down on the sofa (yes, you need a sofa in the sweet spot, not a single chair) and rub her feet. She'll love you for it, and eventually conclude that this hobby is far better than one that keeps you out on a golf course for 4-5 hours every weekend. I assure you this technique will improve the quality of your listening sessions!
My wife is very cool! We have a rather small house and she willing gave up a bedroom for my music only system. The HT system is dominant, but I hope not obscene in the living room. This wonderful woman puts up her lace curtains and so on around speakers, wire and subwoofers. Like some of you other guys - I know I'm very lucky!
Micheal- WAF stands for "Wife acceptance factor". Wellcome to the club of female dominated marriages. Not me, I am the King in my home and whatever I say goes.
I'm usually the voice of reason, fortunately my wife is of the school "life's too short so enjoy it". Birthday 2 years ago Krell 300i, last christmas Dunlavy SC-III's. What a great gal!! She's the reason I've been upgrading. She totally supports my enjoyment of this hobby and love of music. Think I'll make her dinner now.
