in my vintage quad gear by COLORING a rare(one of a kind?) vacumn tube decoder schematic with a crayon while she traced the signal flow thru the matrix/logic. I calmly stated in a firm voice, "put down that red crayon" and "step slowly away from that book". I offered to scan her a copy to "color", but the fun was gone for her...she had only wanted to color the 30 year old diagram so I could see it easier. Remedy, don't try to explain any more techno details to the crazy lady with the crayons. Don't put the rear speakers near her chair either, they'll suddenly become cup/candle holders:( Sam

Ha! In my house a speaker has to double as some kind of end table!
with the main speakers growing taller. I got the
"your just going to make those damn things so high, I can't put anything on the top are'nt you"

past 5 years Ive been using marine spar varnish on coffee and end tables or anything that seems like a drink or a plant would sit on. It held up well for all the wooden boats in the water and its great when someone forgets a coaster too.

A little give and take is important in any relationship. I came home one day and found freshly-watered plants on top of my freshly-finished Theater 4s and just had to be thankful for having had a chance to rub in all those coats of tung oil.
BTW, while my decoupage suggestion above was slightly tongue-in-cheek, the thought occurred to me that maybe I should ask her; given a large speaker, what form she'd like it to be in. My guess is that it would have a nice horizontal surface for plants and doodahs.

If I asked my wife what form she would like the next speaker in. I'm quite sure the answer would be, a suppository.
I give the horizontil surface a close 2nd!
