I love my wife and family dearly, but below are the reasons my wife is not nominatd as HT wife of the year:
1. Because we have a small child, who likes to play w/speaker wife, we must move one of my front mains and angle it against a wall when not in use to prevent my daughter from yanking the wires. My wife cannot understand why I insist on moving it back for better placement for movies and music, "when you'll only have to move it again after."
2. She would preferr that I lug my CD rack up and down stairs when I feel like playing material, as a tall stack of CD's constantly available to a 14 month old is indeed heaven. My insistance on keeping my rack there means alot of consistent re-directing of my daughter.
3. She does not see the value in HDTV.
4. She does see the value in an armoir (I never even knew what one was before I got married. Now I have a 600lb one in my living room). What's worse, it will only accomodate a 27"tv. My setup is mostly for music, thank goodnes.
5. She thinks Dolby Digital is the name of one of the bands I listen to. She thinks DTS is a rapper.
6. She can't tell the difference between 2ch and 5ch DSP modes and assumes because 5ch seems louder, it must be better.
7. She thinks the yellow, Kevlar drivers on my B&Ws "don't fit the room" so I must keep the grills on. Although I think they look awsome, the fact is I have a couple of cats and between them and the baby, that's probaby a good idea anyway.
8. Oh Yeah....She has two cats. I hate cats! Show me one that can take down a good size dog and that's the cat for me.
Anyway, despite all this, I do have a decent Marantz/B&W setup, and a good deal of software that I listen to on a regular basis. Besides the fact that I love her dearly, she also makes an effort to appreciate quality recordings, so there is something there to work with.
