Because they're married?

I had an incredible surround sound system when I was single, back when 5.1 was the big new thing. Sony 5.1 DTS receiver, Yamaha main towers with side loaded 12" woofers, sound matched Yamaha center, Yamaha surrounds, and a JBL powered sub with a 12" woofer. My roommates and I laid out our living room around proper sound staging and it sounded incredible. Excellent for music as well in pure stereo mode, but it would blow your head off for movies. When I got married, I sold it to my former roommates to promote domestic tranquility. Big speakers and women are natural adversaries.
