Midget 111 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Your responses are hilarious, but I am dead set serious! We used to have floorstanders but after moving to a smaller apartment she said we might have to get a soundbar , so we did (B+W Formation). Five minutes of listening she said she just couldn't listen to it so it went back to the shop (I couldn't stand it either but I gave it longer that she did to see if I might warm up to it). We still had a smaller unit to work with so I got a couple of monitors (LS50's). Her response after listening, "Yeah these are not bad" Well she must have gone too long with a taste of bigger speakers because today after a few weeks of listening her lips started moving and a strange string of sounds came out which I had to really take in to make sure I was hearing it right. "I want bigger speakers." She even said she would move the furniture arrangement a bit to accomodate. Not my idea . . . her idea. To add to it all she tells me that she told me not to sell her speakers. "I told you not to sell my Elacs". Well what the, I mean, uhhhhh, what?! So whatever, she came to an audition and picked them out of a lineup of unknown brands using only her ears and no preconceptions, but they were my speakers. All of a sudden she claims ownership of them? I tell you, I think this full circle of going as small as possible, to a bit bigger, and then now a 360 to wanting floorstanders, was all a ploy to mess with my head. I think she likes to see me tortured, I swear. I don't really care though, I'm back! My soul has been liberated and I am going shopping!!!!! 17 4 Link to post Share on other sites
