My wife is doing some sewing in a small room next to my audio room.There are two sets of NS-1000's and a set of NS-690's no more than 15 feet away.I currently have the 690's hooked up to CDfac's Yamaha PC5002M (600+ WPC) with a yamaha C-2 preamp and a Yamaha CDX-930 CDP.And my wife is listening to one of her favorite Icelandic CD's with a tiny little Sony boombox.I asked her if she wanted me to really crank up her tunes..."No, I like my SONY".

I think this is more about space than it is about the sound quality.

Pilates :yes: Lady Gaga

 

[kermit z]

Thats too funny:lmao: My girlfriend tells me what she likes so I put it on and crank it. She really likes Queensryche so I blast that. Until she either closes the bedroom doors to watch TV or tells me to turn it down before the neighbors call the cops:grumpy:

Pilates :yes: Lady Gaga

THIS, for the love of god THIS!

 

[markdi]

who is lady gaga ?

 

[BroonsBane]

My wife would be all over that Yamaha system...good god I love her!

 

[cdfac]

Who is Lady Gaga? I guess this video sums it up (killer song if your speakers are capable of really deep bass, ditto for many of her songs, and pretty good production to boot). She's not bad as far as pop stars go, IMHO. She's funnier than most and not as full of herself. Interesting sense of fashion, though...

You don't need to know what makes a car work to drive one.

My girlfriend came with Hafler separates and two Technics 1210s. I still don't understand 'em, though.

She's a keeper.

My wife Loves my Stereo and likes to sit and listen for hours. She will even get up to change the Record on my all manual TT and does a great job of it. She`s Definitely a Keeper. :thmbsp:

A simple matter of yours vs hers ...

My take:

15 feet away can be a hassle.

boombox is close and intimate and she can change out without a lot of distraction or hassle.

I imagine her main attention and goal is with the sewing with music as incidental background rather than to dance and rock out to Icelandic tunes or being captive to a stereo system and sit in the sweet spot.

And the Number 1 reason: the Sony is hers ... :yes:

just a thought ... :scratch2:

Sorry to admit this but my wife is also very happy with her little Sony boom box that she has stationed in the kitchen. Once in a while, she does in the mood for some raucous music. Then, and only then, am I allowed to play her CDs on my system on "11". Otherwise, I have to keep it down to a maximum of "1", when she is at home.

I may "know how to drive this one" but there sure are a lot of twists and turns.
