Tell us compliments received on your system...


So, it is common for a non-audiophile to doubt the need for high-end gear. Describe a compliment you remember from one of these folks when they hear your set-up.

I had one a while back that was kinda fun. Fellow saw my Dyn monitors and severely doubted they produced the bass that he was hearing. I told him there was no sub on- he looked all over until he found my sub in the corner. "What's this then?" he asked. "It's not on" I said, then I went over and turned it on. The sub is real clean- now he complained it wasn't boomy enough. I thought that was quite a compliment-even tho he didn't know it. Heheh ;-)

My most common responses are "...sounds good" and "Wow...there's a lot of detail", but my favorite came from a friend who, after listening for awhile said "Her voice is coming from there" pointing to my center channel speaker. When I told him that the it wasn't on he walked over and put his ear to it. He just couldn't believe it.
A friend: "Where are the speakers again?"

My mother: "Bring back that girl again!" (played Norah Jones for her)

Also, as a single man, most of the women I bring home look at my listening room (which is - I know - extreem) with a bit of concern. Eventually, we get around to listening and discussing music, and things typically go well from there.
My upstairs neighbor's complaint to the management office: "He can't practice his trumpet and have his band here after 11:00 PM".
