It's not just an issue for the guys! I am not allowed to put my hifi in the living room, so I have a 5.1.2 system in my 10x12 bedroom. It's my sanctuary! I do have my own bedroom. Music is food for my soul. I'm almost 70 and I have a modest setup. I enjoy your viddies and I still hope I can upgrade my equipment to the PS Audio components I am lusting over. Never grow up!
There’s almost always the impossible wife in these stories. If there’s an intolerant person in my life they are OUT!!! *OUT. OUT. OUT!!!* *I have absolutely no tolerance for intolerance!!!*
I have the same problem with my wife, she is always dissatisfied with how I orient the speakers and worse, she also gives me advice without knowing the cause. I solved the problem with Audeze LC2 and more recently I bought an electric guitar to get over my anger and I sing while listening to headphones.
