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!

Well my wife brings home the dough to buy any system upgrade I want. On top of that I can knock down any wall of the house(kitchen off limits) to accomodate my system.

You guy were so,so,so lucky had the wives like that. Me? Oh! No. Here is my story. When I bought a $15K system she always complaint me, even when I turn on my system (music) and have her listen and you know what she said : - I heard $149 a portable Aiwa cassete from my son room exactly the sound of your $15K audio system. What can I say to her???? Please advice !!!!!

Good thread Gary. When I retired (early), my wife not only let me remodel the house to combine 2 bedrooms into one listening room, but she paid for half the cost as a "retirement present". She may not understand audio weirdness, but she understands me. Craig.

My wife loses points in the stereo-friendly department. Almost always a "Can you turn that down?" when she walks in and I'm playing the stereo by myself. But when it comes to food, she more than makes up for it. So I've learned to let my taste buds provide the pleasure that was my ears' province when I was single. Can you say home-made sushi?

Hey CRT, may be your $15k system is not set up optimally and truly does'nt sound much better than an Aiwa or your wife is tone deaf.
