Do well-intentioned people move your speakers?

My mom is in town and she's been on a mission straightening up my house. She saw where I had my speakers, and moved them, saying "they look much better over hear". She did not known that those locations were determined after a considerable amount of time to improve the sound.

Has anyone else had the experience where someone else doesn't understand the importance of proper positioning of speakers?

Yes. That's why I consider myself a lucky dog.
When we moved into my home 18 years ago, I eyed a work shop which was very trashed and told the boss (wife) that I would take it over. I could see it all set up in my minds eye.
Well now, I have a great listening room ALL TO MYSELF. No one messes with my stuff.
I'm just lucky it worked out.
Remember, it almost always is "well-intentioned".

I wish my Mom was around to mess with my speakers. Keep it in perspective.

Liz wont even dust my gear anymore, plus my speakers are over 300lbs each so no worry there, last week she let me place my new record cleaing machine in the spare room where her computer and plants are, that was a big deal for her so god love her and small victory's.

My wife moved them once - May she rest in peace!
Only kidding, but she did move a 210lb. Eggleston Rosa in our HT system & caught hell for it.
I did explain to her that if she ever thought of moving one of "MY" SF Stradavari's that it is a capital crime & she would be shot!

No, but I move other people's speakers when I visit them, when they're not looking.
