    Re: OT: You know you have too much audio equipment when...

    Your getting ready to move and your building a new home and your main focus is on the man cave (music room). I'm adjusting bedroom sizes, bathroom sizes and locations of rooms so that I can get the size that I want (approx 15X21). The hell with the rest of the home, I want my man cave!

    My current dilemma is justifying the additional cost of a 10 foot+ poured foundation versus the more common 8 foot. I really want my 210's to be able to stand up, and not have the horns crammed against the ceiling.

    Guilt for things done will pass with time, regrets for things undone are inconsoleable.

    As for the wife, it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

    I relieved myself of this step in the process of all aspects of life a few years back, traded her for more rewarding interests.

    There was a mild verbal confrontation one afternoon when she came into the workshop as i was bondo-ing my just completed A7 cabinets. In short, she ended up issuing an ultimatum that it'd either be "her or those damn speakers"(in retrospect she was f@$#ing nuts, and there was clearly a lot more wrong than just a pair of speakers), i thought the choice was obvious. The VOT's are easier to live with, look better, sound better, and can be put in storage when you become bored with them.

    With all do respect to our married bretheren, since I've eliminated the estrogen from my life, it's uncanny how less wrong I am.

    oddly enough, some of us attracted our prospective mates using automotive speakers to display our multitrac looptape mating calls.

    Do it. I paid an extra $2K or something like that for my 10' ceilings. I am really happy that I did. Remember that you will lose 6-9" from the joists and ducts under the 1st floor.

    And as far as too much audio equipment, there's a lot I can say, but hey that's how it goes. I am slowly liquidating some of the stuff I don't use, that doesn't make the cut, and/or won't need in the future...
