In Reply to: Everywhere; another post about downsizing or speakers so small they WAF great. What happened to UPSIZING. posted by cfb on April 9, 2011 at 13:18:51:
and women are more and more running the show. Which in a sense is fair enough. If you want her you have to give her X, Y, and Z and it's your own damn fault if you make the decision to give her X, Y, and Z. This is not true everywhere and in places like South Korea where they live in 700 square foot apartments the husband owns a set of Voice of the Theater loudspeakers which takes up half the living space.
The suggestion I would make to people is rather than "settle" on a spouse because you don't want to be lonely that you choose someone who has similar interests - like an interest in and a passion for MUSIC. I have met female audiophiles in my journey to shops. One girl was buying a Rotel amp and Rega turntable - maybe 24 years old rather pretty blond. She was saying something like the Rotel is nice and in a couple of years she will get the Naim gear.
They are out there. Far too many guys marry people that are not right for them (no wonder the divorce rate is above 60%. And of the remianing 40% who don't get divorced how many of them are actually happy? How many of that 40% stay married because of religious beliefs? How many stay married for their kids? How many men in that 40% are out with hookers or dominatrixes because they're wives don't do it for them? I am betting at BEST only half of the remaining 40% are actually happy. That basically means that of all marriages only 1/5 actually work as advertised.
Big is generally better in sound IMO and even my Audio Note speakers while standmounts they're Big standmounts and they go in corners which basically converts the wall as part of the loudspeaker cabinet. And I have yet to hear a smaller speaker sound anywhere even remotely as good.
