In that, in audio genealogy, Advent descended from AR.

Hi John, or Mark?,I forgot.
I'm 59 and have lived around Portland Me. all my life. About 1976 I noticed everyone around here had the original Advents. I also noticed the people that had them were all married,it was man and woman then, and that decor was a big factor in assembling a system for married people.
The Advent was the perfect example for what I was getting at. I've saved every Stereophile mag since the early 80's and have seen some esotoric speaker systems that look like a maroon colored Sousaphone and others that look like the inner cochlea of the ear.
So while working on a Willie Nelson fatty I was thinking there had to be either a speaker system of note that drove the audiophile into the den (man-cave now) and out of his living room.
On the other hand is there a speaker that can or has bridged the decor factor Hi-fi acceptance with the opposite sex?
Hey I hope things are going good for you John Marks or vise versa. I really liked your writing......Mark K.
"it was a man and woman then". I'm 57 and harbor no such intolerance. Why do you? I know that this is an audiophile forum, not a political one, but your animadversion stood out to me.
"were i single, i would make it clear to a prospective spouse that the audio system would be the main thing in the living room IF i couldn't have a dedicated listening room.
one can only WISH for a wife like mine was, HAPPY to have the audio system there and embracing it as well as she did me.
...regards...tr" - HiFi Tommy
Well, that's certainly a nice, refreshing post
Do you really want your SO meddling with your system? I wouldn't.
But if you want to go down that road, try focusing on the music, rather than the equipment. And let HER pick the music. She might then start to appreciate the equipment, but don't count on it.
I could write a book about what it's like from the other side, and if somebody paid me, I would :-)

My guess is that those that can afford the B&Ws will have dedicated listening rooms or a family room.
I think some speakers are like works of art, and will have varied approval.
As much an issue the SO may approve of your speaker choice, there may be debate on placement.
If you can get your SO to appreciate the sound, you'll have a better chance of proper placement, but good luck with that.
