We all heard how the significant other feels about our audio addiction. Now it's time to share the abuse!
Feel free to tell a story, share their quote, or whatever you feel to get your idea across. This is like audiophile's anonymous....
To start it off, I'll tell the story that started the audio feud with me.
years ago this happened...
I told my girlfriend that I was going to get a 5.1 system for the living room. She said she was fine with it (I was surprised). I ended up getting a classic system that has the 2 floor standings in the front.
Anyways I ordered the system online and was waiting for it to arrive. The one day we went to BB and I ran into the same set up. I told her "hey babe these are the same speakers I'm getting". She looked at the 2 tall floor standing speakers and her jaw dropped and she just stood there. I laughed and asked "what's wrong?" She replied "I thought that you were going to get those little speakers that fit into the corners of the wall...." what I wanted to say then was "yeah, AS IF!!!" but I proceeded to tell her (like any self respecting audiophile would) that you normally can't achieve the best sound out of those, sooooo that's why I NEED to get the big dogs.
Now time has passed and she isn't as bothered by the floor standing speakers. It's the wire spaghetti behind the tv that gets her goat...
I also want to comment that I "cleaned up" the back of the tv, and this is what it looks like now... I can't mentally take cleaning it up any more gang!
