I don't understand your problem???

You need a smaller wife or bigger speakers!

Dust the stereo room yourself?

Yep, that's the trick. I do all of the dusting and vacuuming, and she gets to brag to her friends about it.

Have fun,

Jerry

I wish I had your problems, I do at least as much cleaning around here as my wife.. Ecramer, your Tanzanites are gorgeous, what veneer is that? Bubinga?

Maybe we need a "Post a picture of your listening rooms" thread like Salk has.

I don't. Stressing about it is not worth the drama. I know exactly where the cabinets are supposed to go, and the wood floor makes them easy to spot. It'll stop being an issue when I can afford to get bigger (heavier) cabs. Yeah... that's the ticket.

I keep a big Wamo slingshot with a bag of those small wooden balls we use for field trial training retriever dogs next to the recliner, along with a whistle. Whenever her or the cat gets close to the stereo room, I fire one right on the butt cheek and blow the whistle. After two or three times all you have to do is blow the whistle and both of them jump about three feet. Works great for all household companions.

Doesn't that leave marks on your honey?

My wife rarely sets foot in my "stereo" room, let alone dust it. She would never attempt to move the speakers or touch any of the gear.

Same here.....although she will occasionally join me for a few moments, but then gets bored.......she doesnt get it........perfect.

Mark your spikes with small pieces of tape on the floor directly beneath them. Then tell her when she dusts, the speakers have to go back directly on those dots.

Where looking for a new place but its kind of a shame as we have painted this rental and fixed a bunch of stuff. Honey is looking for a place so i can have a room for the stereo her living room is never going to be the place i have true control

Exactly.

I sandwich a sheet of 1.5mm lead between the layers of ply when I make cabinets. Doing this to the side of a 45"x 10" x 16" floor standing speaker will ensure that the cabinets are too heavy to be moved by honeys. Flip side you need to enlsit the use of an "airsled" to move them and that means making a plinth under which the airseld can slip. see links.

The Stereo rack can also be designed on a plinth this way you can slide it out to get behind at the wires.
