I'd just make it clear that the speakers (and positioning of them) is not a negotiable thing. No doubt there are other things in the house that are of equal importance that your partner will be equally non-negotiable about and that's the give and the take! Agreed 100% - it’s a relationship, not a dictatorship! Gee I appreciate my wife all the more right about now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right. My marriage wouldn't have survived if my wife hadn't supported my audiophile obsessions! But why would I want it to! I also fully support and get behind her in her pursuits and hobbies. That's what relationships are all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POV Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Ah...fair enough. Glad we could amuse you then. FWIW you have bought some lovely speakers, strongly suggest you don’t strangle them by putting them in a bookshelf! and I’ll slink off and remember that this stuff doesn’t have to be life and death!

It's all good. Honestly- If i put my foot down we would have big fat floor standing speakers but It's just not that important to me. Also, If i'm being honest- aesthetics do matter to me somewhat too. I hope that we can still be friends and I look forward to your feedback once the house (and cabinets) are all done.

Tasstronic Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 It’s all coming together! See the photo below. It’s taken from here because the room is a huge mess and this edits the mess out. Really happy with how It’s coming together though I’ll post another once the room is finished. It’ll take a few weeks at the rate that we are unpacking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
