Wife approval factor?

My wife pretty much runs things in our house...as long as it has nothing to do with my stereo. I explained this to her 21 years and a few houses ago and it has worked out fine.

Course...I'm a sweet old dawg, long as ya leave yer paws off my bone!

Mine let's me do anything I want with the stereo, thank God!!!

I have asked her about some higher dollar purchases and she replied "will you hear a difference?" when I said yes, she told me to buy them! Hell, she even gave me a new power cord for Christmas!

I guess I lucked out!

The only time that my girlfriend put her foot down was when i tried to use a pair of Klipsch La Scala's for our HT system. She absolutely hates the size and looks of those specific speakers for some reason. Given that i have electronics ALL over the entire house and she's never really put up much of a fuss, i decided it was better to replace them with something more to her liking than start her on a rampage. Rather than having to look at some 3' tall by 2' wide by 2' deep boxes, i've now got 4.5' tall by 1' wide by 15" deep cabinets in their place. No problems now, although i had to invest in amplifiers that were capable of WAY more power due to the differences in sensitivity. Went from 104 db's down to 87 dB's. Yowza!!! Sean

my wife's been a sport about the hifi & motorcycles for 20 years & has rarley complained ,unless you count the time i threw out a brand new love seat sofa because it was blocking one of my klipschorns.

oh,she was pretty pissed too when i had to cut holes in the ceiling so my tweeter colums would fit .
