Ok, Ever notice how when men get together and talk about their wives collectively with respect to toys or electronics it typically goes down hill pretty fast ? The other thread regarding a gentleman and his wife shows proof. He asked for help looking for a system his wife can live with and we all went and told him to get divorced *snicker.* Lynch me for this if you want, but Im gonna make a stand here and say that for once I want to hear the good about our wives and our toys. I know there have to be plenty out there. Nough of this negative stuff lets here some of the positive out there !!
Patti and I just moved into our new and first home a tad over two months ago. For the first time in my life Ive had the location to put together a real HT system. No, we dont have permament blinds yet, yes were still paying off our wedding, yes we have many other priorities, but when I started to get excited about putting together a HT system, Patti never said no. Yeah she voiced some concerns (rightfully so I might add) but she was always supportive of me. I should say that she really isnt into the HT thing and she admits she doesnt hear any noticable difference between speaker brands, sound location, etc. We heard the BOSE demo at the store when I first started looking around and she loved it. Small, sounded good to her, not so pricey, etc. You should have seen her eyes when I started to uncrate the B&W 600 series system that I got instead of the BOSE that she liked so much. Then, just when she thought it was over, the SVS was delivered. I put it in the corner, of the living room, where everyone can see it and where we had previously had a floor lamp. Know what she did ? She helped me figure out a way to arrange the furniture around the HT system to make the room work for her. What a babe. We watched LOTR the other night and almost broke the windows in the house Ok, it was a bit much for me too (love those SVS') but all she did was ask me to trim it down some, not turn it off, not take it back. She was literally asking for a little less low end to better balance it to here tastes. I love her to death.
What about you ? I know there are others on this board with the same kind of stories and I want to hear em.
