Til they see the price. Then it's doghouse, self made meals, smelling the dirty clothes hamper for a memory. But you're friend was right, you do have to man up for what is of value to you. If it was too easy, imagine what you'd have. You go to the architect with a picture of your rig(s) and ask them to design a house around it. The kid's rooms are 6x6 and instead of a living room, you have a theater with elevated seating and passive sub tubes in the walls.

My take on the beauty of audio gear is, after she who must be obeyed and cars, yes it is a site to behold a beautiful tube amp or an old school MacIntosh receiver. I'm a stat speaker fan but I love to see a tower of ribbons, drivers and watch the brute power of a sub in full excursion. Gets the blood pumpin. How much time did the equipment mags get on the lou? And for me, stereo gear mags were right after National Geographics mags in development.

To summarize, ya gotta pay the cost to be the boss and gear is a beautiful thing.
