Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

Warning bells and sirens blared yesterday...thinking about upgrading from ML Ascents to Revel Studios...showed the girlfriend a picture of the Revels and she said "even more ugly than the ones you already have." So, I pressed on - "what would you consider not ugly?" "Something that is in an alcove or in the wall...I don't like the look of a stereo and big speakers in the living room!"

I'll buy the Studios anyway...and then the Ascents move to the HT (which is "cluttered and too confusing to operate")

Or maybe I should buy some of them honkin' huge horn hummers (some alliteration for ya there)...this is about boundaries after all.

While living in the S.F Bay Area I frequented a great place called Music Lovers Audio & was very fortunate that they allowed me to audition all kinds of equipment...one day I brought home a used Transparent Ultra-Link line conditioner & put on a song by Clint Black called The Rain (or something to that effect)the song opens with a rain shower & distant thunder...when she asked from the kitchen "what did you do to the stereo?-I've never heard that part so well?"-I knew I was on to something...and as long as I had a plan for the financing & stuck to it & didn't go overboard
it's always worked out....funny thing is after a "new" purchase-(I really try to buy used) she'll grumble a bit..but...when freinds (or even family) come over she'll mention different movies or CD's & brag that "you've never heard it like OUR system can play it"-that ALWAYS brings a smile to my face-we'll see how it goes here soon the Mits RP-HDTV is going to be replaced w/ a NEW plasma & a new HT Pre-Pro-stay tuned & best of luck

I am a woman and LOVE hi-fi gear, in fact, I have a hard time finding men who are into it, so it's great that I've just found this website!

well I can cope because I am a musician and a woman and an audiofile...but Im not sure how my man copes.

Kittyprincess88, meet Joeylawn36111. Now if those aren't compatible handles, I don't know what is.

Geez, I just thought about how expensive it would be to have a household full of little audiophiles running around upgrading and tweaking their little growing systems...Can peanut butter ever help the sound?
