The Sweetest Sound To My Ears

My wife and I were watching a movie and I decided to retire early. I turned off my two channel system and switched to TV speakers before I went to bed. As I was leaving the room she said "What happened to the sound, it doesn't sound right". It was the first time she acknowledged how good my system sounds. I left the room with a big smile :smile:

    My girlfriend doesn't have a clue what any of it does, but she definitely appreciates the results of my humble Rti setup in the living room. I put the Lsi bedroom setup together with her in mind, so now we have 2 great places to enjoy tunes or a good movie.

    So agreed, affirmation of your audio efforts is certainly nice. :razz:

    My wife was visiting her sister and did the same thing. She kept asking them to turn it up because the dialog was not clear...but her sister only has a very cheap all-in-one box system that sounds like crap.

    What is interesting is several of her family members love music and have systems that are just not up to the task. I think they all would enjoy a better A/V system more so than they know it. If I had the means, I would set them all up...but, I am stuggling to get my setup to where I want it.

    My wife doesn't like the stereo for movies/TV because it's a "hassle" over the TV speakers, but keeps asking me to turn it up as she can't hear it...

    Tony, you know Ethel that works down at the foundry too?


    That's a great thing, being on the same page as your wife. Hate to quote the A team, but "nice when a plan comes together", eh CC?
