A text? Wow.![]()
I have developed my ability to hear without listening to such a high degree that I can actually repeat what my wife said word for word when she angrily asks me to repeat it. Yet, I still have no real idea what she said. Now that's real "golden ears".Yeah, she said she was yelling and I didn't hear...go figure...lol.
Well, I am lucky in a way. We both like most movies I like but I can only really enjoy movies with friends when she is out who don't mind my volume levels; she does and I hear it quickly.I could never share a living room with a wife and my audio equipment. ....
When my ex was just here for 7 weeks staying in my home, she was actually parked on my sofa listening whenever I fired up the tunes and often at near reference level. It never occurred to me that she would have an opinion either way. I am more critical and yet she stated how clear it all sounded. I pinched myself, checking to be sure if I was still among the living.Well, I am lucky in a way.

LOL...I shouldn't be complaining and I guess I'm not really. I told her about how much my redo was going to cost (after we agreed to upgrade her car and buy some silly purse that cost way too much money) and I haven't heard a peep out of her on that financing of it.I have developed my ability to hear without listening to such a high degree that I can actually repeat what my wife said word for word when she angrily asks me to repeat it.

Just kidding. Though I don't think I will let her read that. But seriously, for those late nights when she is sleeping, I break out the headphones.
This reminded me of "Fortunately, the Milk" by Neil Gaiman.I have developed my ability to hear without listening to such a high degree that I can actually repeat what my wife said word for word when she angrily asks me to repeat it.

Fortunately the Milk said:Our mum had gone off to a conference. She was presenting a paper on lizards. Before she went, she reminded us of the important things that had to happen while she was away.
My dad was reading the paper. I do not think he pays a lot of attention to the world while he is reading his paper.
"Did you hear me?" asked my mum, who is suspicious. "What did I say?"
"Do not forget to take the kids to Orchestra Practice on Saturday; it's Violin on Wednesday night; you've frozen a dinner for each night you're away and labeled them; the spare house-key is with the Nicolsons; the plumber will be here on Monday morning and do not use or flush the upstairs toilet until he's been; feed the goldfish; you love us and you'll be back on Thursday," said my father.
I think my mum was surprised. "Yes, that's right," she said.
I could, and I considered it, but Im very concerned about putting Subwoofers in walls. The resonance problems would be horrific. Perhaps I am not as knowledgeable on this subject, but I chose to not do that. If I could be convinced that the bass would not be compromised I would definitely consider it.Very impressive.
Now that you went through all the work hiding the surrounds, I think it would be a good idea to tackle the large, black subs. There are a number of companies that make really nice in-wall subs that could disappear into cabinetry or your walls.
I've pulled off in-wall subs with great results, BUT there are definitely compromises. I had no resonance issues, but you likely won't get the same output as with an equivalent stand alone sub. To me, the biggest downside is that you're stuck with the location, so you better have that thing super well planned out and your estimations correct, because you have to prewire, then place in the preconstruction box (which gives you your internal volume and port), and then once that dude's sheetrocked in, yeah, it's there for good. Hope you got it right! I did thankfully, but there's no "subwoofer crawl" going this route. Don't get me wrong, there are absolutely some great applications for going the in-wall sub route, but if I have my choice and the space for it, I want a stand-alone subwoofer most of the time.I could, and I considered it, but Im very concerned about putting Subwoofers in walls.

Agreed. And if you notice, my main speakers are in a cabinet!I've pulled off in-wall subs with great results, BUT there are definitely compromises.

Sometimes I like to swing on one to the point where I can actually transfer to another without touching the ground. If I am very careful, I can make several circuits around the room. Its great cardio.
Yeah, Im not budging on the subwoofers. I may paint them or at least powder coat the grills to make her happy.
