Did your system ever get so good it pushed you out of the house?

For me, the complete opposite. I enjoy my system / music so much that my preference is to stay home, put a good record on, have a few drinks etc. Possibly share this experience with a loved one or close friend. For me it doesn't get any better that that.


My system is packed up at the moment as I'm remodeling my living room. It's been a difficult time for me.... no living space, no system.... :(

One the one hand maybe. On the other maybe not.  

One the one hand maybe. On the other maybe not.  I think that covers it. 

Concerts for nationally known performers have become ridiculously expensive. And then you add in parking, beverages, snack, etc. and it gets even more ridiculous. Since I’ve already spent a lot on my home system, why not stay home and listen? For the most part, I don't give a damn about the visual aspect of live music, especially the dance troupes that come with a lot of the newer music. The bathrooms are better at my house than most venues too.

I’ve been inspired by my system and by Floyd Toole to check out the venue ejr mentioned, Boston Symphony.
