    My Wife Bought Me Jubs for Christmas!!!

    I

    Have

    The

    Coolest and greatest and mostest beautifulist wifeBig Smile

    In the World.Cool

    I openned up a small box this am.Gift  In it was the paperwork, order form, etc.  For a set of Jubs!!!!Surprise

    She has now been responsible for basically all of my audio purchases over say, $100. or so.  She must really love me a bunch, because she still thinks that they are not particularly good looking....  And they are going to be in the formal living room in the front of the house...   But, she says that I am worth it.   And, I can pretty much reassure you all that I am indeed worth it.  hehehe....

    I am indeed a most fortunate man who married very, very well....Yes

    I suppose I was one of the ones mentioned by Roy as being on the launching pad so to speak....

    Now I really have to figure out the passive vs. active thing, quickly, rather than a theoretical for on down the road.

    WOW... Very cool indeed..  I think I have her twin sister, she wants me to get K-Horns.

    I know you will enjoy.

    Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. - "Chunk" / The Goonies

    You mean they are bigger than the Acoustimas speakers?

    It has been a while since I was in Hope, the memory is well, not so perfect...

    She did want to know what the deal with the Palladiums were.  Said they were the most beautiful speaker she has ever seen...

    That's great news, I think you better be extra good to her now.

    James, Paul:

    Like me, you are blessed with a PAW, Perfect Audiophile Wife.   If you ever do anything to lose them, you are complete fools.  Such honor to the likes of us drooling, tube-lusting, damitall there IS a hum, that wall has to go, this azimuth just ain't right, if it ain't Klipsch it's CRAP maniacal morons is incomprehensible and I fall on my knees in gratitude everytime I see some bull cow dragging her husband away from the vinyl bins to look at curtains.

    God bless us, each and every one!

    Congratulations Paul.

    A little too big to fit under the tree, eh? 

    Welcome to the club, and Merry Christmas!

    You better reassure your wife that you are indeed worth it each and every waking moment you're together.

    Sorta makes you feel insignificant when all you got her for Christmas was a new blender!Embarrassed

    Seriously, congrats.

    Sorry Dave just a PAG, Perfect Audiophile Girlfriend, at the moment.  But that was the best thing that I could do, was let her listen to a pair of K-Horns.
