A tale of WAF


A buddy of mine just installed a rather refrigerator sized Bagend Speakers the other day. It was quite hilarious hearing him trying trying to explain these are great becasue we can play are music through them on music night and just plug everything in the mixer and it will be awesome!

Her instant response in the beginning in these words. We can play music through a smaller speaker!!

He works in the home theater install trade part time and completely cracked up learning that there was a term in audio that kills system quicker than surges, blown woofers, and exploding amps the almighty WAF.

As young marrieds our fist apartment was tiny. We dreamed of renting the adjacent unit and simply knocking out the kitchen wall. A bigger kitchen and a mirror image unit would allow each of us our own living spaces, closets etc. and it would be exactly equal.
Now that we are retired in a house that was designed for a family of four, we have the space. Unhappily there is no exactly fair way to divide the space so compromise (WAF) is still necessary. Oh the lost dreams of youth.
Now I know why I am divorced? I dared to stand up to my wife. I did and she got it all. You have a house large enough for a family of four and you still have to dream on ....geezzzz
When a woman I dated first walked in my house and had to walk around a speaker positioned near the front door, her comment was, "Obviously no woman lives here."

Another woman, seeing the speakers, equipment, and acoustic panels on stands, asked, "Don't you think this is a bit cluttered?"

Not having any investment in her, I responded, "Do you live here?"

I do have A friend whose wife has tolerated his very large speakers and space for equipment in their living rooms. They recently moved to another house where he has a large room for his system, though she has never complained. Rare and exceptional.
