Hi guys. I am just wondering if there is a wife out there who doesn't moan of you having the volume too high when watching your favorite movie on your HT.
I always have to wait for her to be out of the house or sleep so I can sit down and enjoy the blessings of HT at any volume I please.

I don't have a wife but my girlfriend never complains. She actually enjoys the rumble and such. The more realistic the better I think she likes it. Anyways, i'm happy my girlfriend appreciates what I do, most people say why the hell do you need all that crap anyways.
Kinda pisses me off.

With most women, it's a perception thing. My wife use to complain about how loud the sound was when watching movies on a 47" rear projection TV. Then I installed a front projection system and now have a 90" LB screen. Now she doesn't complain because the sound matches the screen size.

I don't think my wife knows how to turn down the volume herself... I keep her confused by surrounding myself with all of the remotes. If she complains, I can't hear her...  |

I once got a jpeg picture of my remote control, blew it up, and put instructions on the button sequence on how to turn everything on with the remote and set the source to the tv or the dvd player....
i gave it to my girlfriend, she tried it once, and threw it out, she said i am my stuff are stupid...

My wife will want the TV volume turned down (usually the kids blast it) but in our HT, with front projection etc she likes the movie theatre feel.

My daughter and I both listen to a lot of music, and actually she's the one asking ME "Do you really need to have it that loud?"
