    My wife tolerates my hobby. Even though she did ask me where we are going to go on vacation and what speakers will I be looking for while on vacation. She has been nice enough to allow three of our vacations to be interrupted for me to buy speakers.

    She's a keeper! Mine is the same, I'm still amazed she likes the look of my sda's since they're almost three times as wide as the towers they replaced.

    Other than my brother and a few of us older friends that grew up together with trying to impress one another with our car and home stereos, I agree not many enthusiast left. I do have a neighbor that has some nice JBL's hooked up to a Sansui receiver that he still has from his military days, but that's as far as it goes for him we sit in his garage blast tunes and drink beers and talk about days gone by. Or as Neil Young says Days that used to be.

    Same here. No neighbors around to talk about audio gear or music. Closest good audio shop is more than 45min drive. Also they think I am crazy for having too many speakers and still looking around for more...:)

    At least my daughter (14) likes to listen to some of my music and she likes how different the music plays from the different speakers. She likes the Linn's over the Ushre's. One time she was at a Goodwill store with her aunt looking around and she calls me to tell me there were some Boston Acoustics speakers for sale......

    Is funny when I ask her what do you tell your friends at school that some of the music in your Ipod that you like is actually my music of choice...lol
