I have considered using that method as well, as I have a friend who has on severl occasions suggested it, but have not followed through with it. I guess I would rather face the music so to speak than undermine our relationship. Out of curriosity how do you sneek in things that are obvious like speakers.

WAF factor is a serious as it gets... so glad Accorddude's Mom like's his speakers. And getting a smooch from the GF is great (of course when your dating so much is easy to do if there might be a ring in sight) but us married people have extreamly serious things to be concerned with in our relationships. Like keeping our spouses saying yes in our quest to acheive sonic nirvana. But we can all take a certain amount of pride doing a good job at tuning our rooms AND our spouses at the same time! It always amazes me how I can come up with a really, really great idea only to find out I the biggest dummy this side of Jupiter for suggesting a plant might move a few feet to the left. Alas... I relish a challenge and keeping my darling feeling loved and cherished is what's important.

Well put sailfishben.

An amusing little thread, but with some real substance. I love hearing the macho stuff; 'How come their wives have anything to say about it?' Yeah, right; no community property laws in your state, big guy?

Seriously, working with WAF hasn't been a bad thing for me in my shared den/office. I ended up with 'cute' speakers, the Reference 3a Dulcets, and the Naim Nait 5i & CD5x. Frankly, the music sounds better in the small room than it did with more massive speakers and amps I had in there, and you don't feel crowded. There can be audiophile virtue in minimizing...
