What happens when the Wife cleans the audio room


Well ladies and gentlmen,

I sat down last night after work to enjoy some music. To my suprise the sound stage was left of center on the first track I listened to so I tried another track same thing. I looked things over and noticed my left speaker had been moved. No big deal I will just move it back. Not. I got the sound stage centered again with a loss in bass :(.

Now mind you the speaker had not been moved more than an inch. Yes it made a profound difference.

The moral of this story is clean your audio rooms yourselves and then the only person you can blame when something goes wrong is yourself.

I am not looking forward to the hours I will now have to spend to get the speaker positioned correctly again. Toe in here, toe in there, 1/4" here, 1/4" there.

Have a good day.

Predictably, the Maggie 1.6's are moved back 2 feet from their normal spot. I've got to get a set Mye stands to put a stop to that. Can't complain really, she's very indulgent of my obsession and enjoys good music and sound too.
I make it a point to inspect all connections once every two weeks when the maid comes over. Often a cable might need to be re-attached to a speaker. My wife love the system and she has a better ear for when something is wrong. She is also mystified by the whole thing to the point that the only part of my house that has all of the smudges and fingure prints on the glass...is my(our) entertainment area.
Last year our cleaning person moved my speakers and damaged the midrange and woofer on one of them. I've replaced the mid (for $165) but the woofer is out of production and I still haven't been able to find a replacement. In the meantime, it's being used for rear-surround duties. So.....I now clean the audio/HT room!
Being as nobody will go near my stuff anyway I don't have to worry about it. That's the way I like it. It's much more relaxing to not have to worry about someone else doing damage like spraying something onto components or moving/disconnecting anything. I'd be furious if any damage resulted from stupidity.
