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?

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.

haha Sfar! I really hope you do that...I know I have thought when visiting some places (including some dealers that don't know what Hifi really is) I have moved things when other people are not around...

That's pretty easy,
my housekeeper is prohibited from entering my basement dedicated audio room, much less going anywhere near my system.

I do all the time. Been breaking a new set for about ten months. I actually have them, deep spiked towers, on plant dollies that have a 16 inch round concrete stepping stone on top. Makes it easy to move the 'monsters'. Keep on tweaking!
