7. You actually listen to music! Not just have it on in the background, but actually listen to it as the main event.
8. You'd rather listen to your hifi than watch TV. Certifiable my friend.
amen!

-frequently answering the question, "but don't you already have one that does the same thing?"
-not fooled by the marketing genuis of B*se! -

I can't tell anyone what I am up to because they are all squealers. My plan is to keep with in this (Polk) family.

The Pottery Barn? Are you from North GA Beta?
I am in Southern California.
Forgot to mention that my wife didn't take to my suggestion that it was critical we move all of our living room furniture around into different positions in order to more accurately accommodate the "sweet spot".
I sat and schemed a bit. Ended up getting myself a super plush and collapsible zero gravity lounger. Now I set up camp in the sweet spot at my leisure. When I am done, I simply fold up camp and put everything away until my next session.... -

+1. It keeps them from becoming confused.

I completely understand...my 12 year old listens to music, if you can call it that, on her ipod speaker without the earphones, often. She'll turn to me and say hey Dad listen to this...and I 'cringe' but I listen...like fingernails on a blackboard...what fathers will do for their daughters!

My 14 yr old thinks my stereo sounds good, but goes to her room to listen to her ipod speaker because most of my music 'sucks':o we don't talk about her music. what fathers do:rolleyes:Dual 1229/Grado Gold/Rotel RCD1070/RC995/RB980BX/Pioneer 7100/Denon DRM710/Monster HTS3600MKII/PolkAudio SDA2B/TL's -
Yes, and along with the many great things mentioned before let's not forget all the SDA owners out there. I, for one use a laser, tape measure and a level to make sure that my SDAs are in "perfect alignment" vertically, horizontally, and distance to me and each other. The next time I do an alignment I will take picutres and maybe you can tell me if I am certifiable.:D

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Curt,

Well next year when she turns 13 you'll need a BIG ole baseball bat by the front door to greet all the horny little **** that will be banging on your door. Just answer the door holding the bat resting on your shoulder . . . they'll get the message.
Funny story. I have a friend who is over 6' tall and weighs about 300 lbs of solid muscle. He has two absolutely beautiful daughters. When they got into their teens, he bought a big Greg Luzinski bat and put it by the door. Now you would think with his imposing figure that would be enough! Nope, I witnessed him answering the door, with the bat on his shoulder, not saying a word, but with a big smile on his face. Not only didn't the girls get in trouble but when the boys would come to the door again they would say, "good evening Mr. Gaver, may I see speak to 'so and so' Sir?" LOL!!! -
You are ALL certifiable!!! And I want nothin ta do wit anyoyus!:eek::p;):D

Yeah, that does seem extreme and I'd too lazy to do the switching.
Here are so more that I am making public for the first time....
- the color of the component makes a difference in sound quality
- the theory that glasses wearers should take off their glasses for better sound quality
- along the lines of the Pottery Barn end tables, use "Lack" end tables from Ikea
- listening to music only in comfortable temperature
- when looking at Open Houses, scope out possible location for system(s)
- have five or more copies of the same recording and insisting each sounds different
I'm right there with you Brother, but the rest . . . you be ****!:D -

She keeps telling me to just clear a spot on my listening position and listen to music . . . she doesn't get it. There's boxes in front of the speakers, boxes, bags and the Christmas tree all over the room. When I tell her everything is going to mess up the sound and it will just frustrate me, she just rolls her eyes and says, "you're a nut.":eek:
Oh yeah and I forgot, she took all my DIY room treatments and piled them in a heap over some of my records!:rolleyes::mad:

I hear you....no pun intended. She'll turn 13 about one month after we return to the U.S. And has already informed me that "I hope you know, Dad, that I like boys!" Greg Luzinski, I'll have to look into that. lol

Gotcha. There used to be a place in North GA called the Pottery Barn. I heard they went out of business shortly after I moved to South GA, so I was kind of surprised to here the name. I don't guess I should be that surprised, it seems like that should be a fairly common name for that type of business. -
actually pottery barn is a huge retail store all over the US usually in malls, outlets and shopping centers.. sad that i know that but my wife and the ex before her love Pottery barnMain 2ch -

I don't know if the national retail Pottery Barns are related to the one that used to be in Commerce GA or not. I do know that the founder and longtime owner of that Pottery Barn was a local Northeast Ga gentlemen who apparently shut it down when he retired and the family was disinterested in running the business. It was a huge, stand alone store that you could probably fit a football field or two under. It would be interesting to know wether the national chain stores were somehow related to this one, but given the fact that you don't see any pottery barns in the south in malls, outlets and shopping centers, I'm guessing not.
Oops, I just did a search and apparently Pottery Barns are located all over the South also. I'm going to have to research this a bit. -
Here's a private fetish I have, exposed only here on CP, once a speaker has been on the left or right side, I always keep them that way....why? 'cause I'm wierd.
I do this subconsciously as well. I think it's because I'm used to keeping track of my SDA's?Ludicrous gibs! -
Anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer is pist off because of all the Pottery Barn catalogs that he keeps getting in the mail? He bring an armfull of the catalogs to the PB, opens the door, screams, "you like sending out catalogs, well how do you like getting them back," an slams them on the floor.

I'm the same way!! My Monitor 7's for instance, are absolutely no different from one another. They aren't made in "pairs" like SDA's or LSi's. But...I always use the same speaker on the left and the same on the right. I don't know why...but it's like I have to...lolThe nirvana inducer-
