    Came home this afternoon, and she's done it again had a move about :mad: :mad: . The tv is now about 40cm away from my left hand speaker. the sound now has less bass :( :( . What do you do when she looks at you as if to say 'what are you talking about'.

    She needs training, in the end I got her to move house. I have a room for my toys, and I do the vacuuming. They're bloody nuisances

    good advise guys, you guys have it sorted there. I've been trying to train her for years now, even tried to get the kids to like the sound, so she will listen to me. but no all i get is well i clean it so i can put things where i like. But fair do's to her she hasn't moaned about me saving up for upugrades yet. I've opened a different bank account in my name so it can't be used for other things.

    get speakers with MASSIVE magnets that cause splotches to appear on the screen of the tv. You can then tell her that the TV is getting damaged because its too close to the magnets in the speakers.

    Failing that, just tell her that the TV needs to be further away from the speakers because the magnets on the speaker cones will eventually damage the TV. Its got basis in truth, and will still get her to move it!

    Not a bad plan that; it may actually work! I did once slightly screw up a little portable TV I had that way...

    All, good advise. I've already tried the tv one, the reply was 'well when that one breaks you can get another'. So when the tv breaks down i'm going to get a LCD, and put it on the chimney breast.

    Tom, I understand your concerns, but being a devoted audiophile often means being prepared for ultimate sacrifices. Or doesn't it?

    Sarcasm doesn't really work in text, so you're never totally sure when someone begins to use it. I sincerly hope you just did!
