Do well-intentioned people move your speakers?

My mom is in town and she's been on a mission straightening up my house. She saw where I had my speakers, and moved them, saying "they look much better over hear". She did not known that those locations were determined after a considerable amount of time to improve the sound.

Has anyone else had the experience where someone else doesn't understand the importance of proper positioning of speakers?

Sufentanil, if you love your mother as much as I do mine, you suppress your frustration, and calmly explain the situation to her!

Prpixel, it's amazing people who are that stupid could actually survive to adulthood!

Snofun3, LMAO! Just show her his room pictures, that should help a lot.

Sufentanil, Fortunately I have a very understanding wife. She listened to music where she wanted the speakers and then where I wanted the speakers. She agreed that they sounded much better out in the room where I wanted them. She hasn't complained since.

Yes. That's why I consider myself a lucky dog.
When we moved into my home 18 years ago, I eyed a work shop which was very trashed and told the boss (wife) that I would take it over. I could see it all set up in my minds eye.
Well now, I have a great listening room ALL TO MYSELF. No one messes with my stuff.
I'm just lucky it worked out.
Remember, it almost always is "well-intentioned".

I wish my Mom was around to mess with my speakers. Keep it in perspective.

Liz wont even dust my gear anymore, plus my speakers are over 300lbs each so no worry there, last week she let me place my new record cleaing machine in the spare room where her computer and plants are, that was a big deal for her so god love her and small victory's.
