This is a little funny...

[ParadigmDawg]

Thinking back to when I first got my system and the ol' WAF dictated the speakers being no more than 2'' from the wall. I told you guys I would slowly inch them out about 1/2inch a week until she noticed. Well I measured them yesterday and they are 16'' out now and she still hasnt noticed

Hee, hee. Nice!

Pretty soon they'll turn into rear speakers.

That is hilarious!
My front speakers are about 3ft from the front wall. My wife said one day, "What are those 3 big things standing in the middle of the room?"

I will never be able to gat away with 3 feet but I thought 14'' was a good start...

Yeah, I don't know if I would push it. If she figures out, you may be back to 2"!!!

 

[j_garcia]

16" should be plenty for those guys. Good work

If my wife were to respond...she'd ask if that was 16 "boy inches" or "girl inches". I assume, since you measured, they are "boy inches". Heh heh. Of course she hasn't yet noticed.

HAHAHA "Boy Inches" that means that they're really 8" from the wall and you've inflated it to 16.

My GF moves my speakers ALL the time so I have to use the old spike marks in the carpet as a reference when putting them back.

 

[highfihoney]

Its all fun & games till somebody gets hurt ! Ya better watch it mister,if she notices you pushed them bad boy's that far out in the roon there will be he!! to pay

 

[j_garcia]

Someone is going to notice when one gets knocked over....

 

[agarwalro]

This is the funniest thread ever.

 

[zumbo]

Yes honey, these are the new end tables.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I thought I was busted yesterday when she was cleaning the floors. That was the first time she had the vaccum cleaner behind the speakers and I thought that was it but she didnt say a thing!

 

[j_garcia]

So is it a good thing or a bad thing? I guess since she can vacuum behind them that she either didn't care or she likes the fact that she can get back there and just didn't say anything to you...

Maybe she thought you were being nice and moved them so she could vacuum that part of the carpet. On second thought she's saving this for leverage later on...

[mike c]

those are too huge not to be noticed. you're on borrowed time.

They are calculating like that second thought, aren't they?! They lurk. They wait. You think you've pulled a fast one...until just the right moment to strike and then POW!!...you get sucker-punched with some get-even thing.

 

[fmw]

Funny story, thanks. I can understand the issues. My wife doesn't care a whit about sound or picture quality but she cares about how the system looks!

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Yep, in the back of my mind I think she knows but has just accepted it but I may be giving her too much credit. It was so gradual that I didnt even notice they were that far out until I saw the vaccum cleaner behind them. Soon as she went to the next room; I got out the ruler and measured and I was surprised that they were at 14''. It seems like a small battle was won...

Thats what I call having a golden horseshoe firmly implanted.

Good for you..
