I actually received a comment last week that the speakers sounded a lot better now (after I replaced the manufacturer's crossovers with ones of my own design).

Could all these years of being around me finally be wearing off?

..... one of these days could she actually say "I don't mind having to need a cheat sheet to turn the stereo on and get sound from the VCR, as long as it sounds good." .... okay, I am just dreaming.

Another great wife! It's typical of here, too. I haven't done anything too radical yet though. We will see what she says with my upcoming subwoofer project- (8 eights in a BIG cabinet)

Alvaius,
I think you're dreaming... If she actually says that, I want to meet her!

*MY* wife was all for the new subs I made recently, but when she finally got to hear them she said that the same reason she is afraid of thunderstorms she doesn't like the sound of the subs either.

Default She Who Must Be Obeyed.....

My babe has come to accept me doing things like getting up and swapping polarity or eq and other tweaks, and she now knows not to whinge - when I get the sound right she just bops, and usually until far too late.
Lately I am finding her to give some quite valuable subjective opinions, and I am finding these to correlate quite well with my own (unspoken) findings, and even say things like "Are you sure that the polarity is correct ? ".
Whilst my system (at her place) undergoes stepwise evoloutionary changes and improvements, I find that when she is happy with the sound she lets me know.

Eric / - domestic bliss is a happy sound system.

My new fiance supports me quite well. I guess its easy since we live 800,000 KMs apart for 2/3rds of the year (school!). But she definitly supports my habbits and expects that when we get a house, the entire basement will be for my DIY projects.

Long live women, for without them, life would suck.
