Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers

"I feel pretty lucky in having a wife who loves music as much as I do. My life wouldn't be nearly as full without music OR her in it."

Agreed!  I am blessed with an amazing woman.

OP - Sorry to hear about your divorce, but sometimes it's the only option.

I'm a Rockport fan. :)

Yeah whatever, she and her attorney will be looking at this thread on the internet, identify him to be deadhead100, etc like Stephen Hawking started doing ballet one fine morning.

I am not sure where you are in the process, but if it is not already over, then calculations of Alimony Pendente Lite, spousal support, etc may be affected by what you post here, The gist of her attorney's argument would typically be "look at what he is considering buying, so he can afford to give her [fill in the blank] per month". For a man getting divorced I recmmend that they take a "slug approach" - stay low and keep moving!

I have always believed that good audio gear is on balance a lot less trouble that any woman I have known including my current wife. Somebody once pointed out to me that audio gear doesn’t keep you warm at night, but I beg to differ, especially if you have class A amps or tube equipment. Warmth, both audibly and literally, is easily derived from tube equipment. :)

This is not my preferred method for staying warm... :)
