No, that part she understands perfectly. She drives... rapidly.

But there are things that totally baffle her:

thats some wife you have there... i might have to find me one like her some day.....

you should combine fields, lets her paint your speakers with art work

Mine does not paint my speakers, but she always encourages me to finish project that I've started.

My wife absolutely loves my speakers.

Not for the way they look or sound but that for the amount of time it took to make them, I wasn't getting into trouble or endangering myself otherwise.

My track record has something to do with that. I hate when your baggage follows you.

My wife complains that she keeps getting my hand-me-downs. Last week she went ninja on me and switched my man cave L/R mains for the ones she had in her TV room... now I have to build more.

A colleague of mine (Frank Verwaal) built his own electrostatic loudspeakers several years ago (after spending considerable time digging into the theory), found that the loudspeakers were too large to fit anywhere in his living room and finally sold them. His wife actually encouraged him to keep them, but he didn't listen to her.

Here is my last project, line arrays with 16 microphone capsules, 2 KOhm impedance. I plan to drive them with transformerless SRPP amp on 4P1L outputs. However they will never be loud enough for a living room, but I suspect her patients will never complain about sound quality of soft soothing music in her office. She already said that she loves them how they look. But she does not know yet about my plans. Neither her boss, they share the same room in the office.

If i fell dead in my listening room, it would take 3-4 days for my wife to know So after helping heave speakers into place, she is never heard from again ..

when I told her about dims of spks I'm going to make for our living room , she looked me with enormous surprise on her face , asking - "what , you're not going to bring these spks ? " , looking at ones in my workshop .

these are twice bigger .

did I kissed her after that ?

Ha! It turns out most accidents are domestic accidents. Killing spouses is one of them. I don't know about you but I'm pretty dangerous with a hammer in my hand. Don't lose your temper holding an electric drill either. Just saying.
