Subconsciously, that may be one reason I married a flight attendant. From my wife's point of view, she's getting away from me.

My wife doesn't mind me listening at loud volumes.

It means she can hear while she's in the kitchen.

Ditto...

Oh yea... Been there... Done that... Lost my T-Shirt... Along with pretty much everything else...

Question... Why is divorce SO expensive? Answer... Because it's worth it. Big Smile

Same here. She doesn't mind loud volumes as well.

My wife likes to hear music over the chain saw when she is outside cutting firewood.

My wife has always supported my passion for music and big sound. She likes it loud when the music seems to call for it. We try to identify the objects in the house that will rattle sympathetically, and damp them down. Klipschorns can rattle a window a house away. Years ago, she helped me build some diffusers ... now that the math has changed our view of what diffusers should be like, we are getting ready to build some more, I couldn't ask for a more cooperative spouse, maybe it has something to do with where we met 39 years ago -- in a class at UC Berkeley entitled "Rock: Social Poetry for the '70s."

Oh god yes.

Best audio investment is to get your wife into scrap booking. My wife and our daughter will go away for the entire weekend to scrap the night away, I then send the son to his friends house.

During the scrap booking weekends, oddly enough, the clipping indicators begin to flash on my amp, go figure.

My wife gave me my own room with a door that closes..... on the far side of the house. I can play music any time I wish, at any volume that my ears can take. She is also very forgiving about audio (and most other) purchases. Her attitude is if we can afford it then OK. I DO buy her what she wants but then she does not want all that much so when she askes, she gets it.
