    I'm in the hardly ever category but that's because I hardly listen to my favorite system anymore. ;)

    Wow! What a 180* turn around from just a few years ago. :confused:

    You're not a card-carrying audiophile unless you make at least one tweak per week.

    My name is MillerLiteScott and I am a constant tweaker.:D

    I re-configured my front speakers and moved my sub to next to the couch today.

    Yesterday the sub was in the middle of the side wall and the day before it was in the front left corner.

    I am not a Quitter.:D
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Nope. Too deaf, and Brother Bob McG's first sentence coming heavily into play.

    I only tweak my system on occasion... unless there is something really wrong with how it sounds.. then I'll try and tweak to find the problem.

    You will go blind if you tweak to much.

    For me tweaking is part of the fun. Just did some last night.

    Sometimes as I'm resting in bed before going to sleep or in the morning, I think about ways to tweak.
