My wife is so uncool!

yeah, i gotta wonder what you guys do in the whole pre-screening / selection process. my wife just gave me a TG Audio SLVR for x-mas, and we just rented a house...one of her first statements was "since it has 4 bedrooms, you'll finally have your dedicated listening room."

as she routinely says: i like your hobby--it beats the hell out of golf.

amen.

Raceperegrine, once the wedding takes place, you can forget about the "sweet spot"

My fiancee was telling me that she didn't think my speakers were big enough. At the time, I had a pair of Infinity IRS Betas. I am now running IRS V. She doesn't make that comment anymore. People tell me she was joking, but hey, I will take permission even if it comes sarcastically.

I was offered an obscene amount of money for the IRS V and decided to sell them, but expressed that even though it was a large amount of money I and I already spent some of it on a motion simulator for the home theater, I was not looking forward to seeing the speakers go. She told me to keep them. What can I say but "I love you."

Ha-Ha-Ha. I deffinately got some good laughs from some of the earlier posts. I guess I'm just lucky - I'm not currently married and my live-in girlfriend likes my main audio system and plays her own CDs at various times.
I think it's worth pointing out that I just looked over the last two issues of "Architectural Digest" where they have all those "designer" homes that most women seem to like. I didn't see a single room that looked like it had ANY audio or video equipment most audiophiles would own. Only a few TVs set up to "disappear" into cabinets. But not a speaker anywhere to be seen. Guess the wealthy must all listen to those crappy Bose radios always being advertised!

My ex took back an integrated NAD amp she had purchased for me when we went our seperate ways. I could have fought for it, but it wasn't worth hearing the bitching. Since then, I have upgrade my woman and my system.

Maybe we should re-write "there are other fishes in the sea" to "there are other systems on the market".
