artto Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My better half got a look at the American Express statement last night. $$$$$ Three high-end AVR and a SVS subwoofer. I explained they are all under evaluation and I can return them. I'm only going to (maybe) keep one of the AVR. And the sub is gratis years of accumulated American Express Rewards. Might as well use the Rewards for something, right? Why not a free sub? She says, "What? You paid how much for a ******* sandwich?" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Altough the wife can look at a statement anytime she wishs, she has quite another way of avoiding conflict, she simply say's, I want to buy "something" ?, i want "This" can i have it ?....i say yes and when, never say no. Yet another layover from setting her up w/Khorns and Monoblocks, FIRST, when bringing stereo into the house. She's testing me now, she is retiring in three months and wants a new car, well Ok.

To which you should have replied, "no honey, I didn't buy an expensive sub sandwich, I bought a cheap undersea boat! +++ Hey Artto, I lost your original thread on your Onk 616 network problems, but did you see my reply to that post?

She told me she doesn't need any receipts anymore. She just looks it all up online. After all, she is accounting & operations manager where she works.

artto Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hey Artto, I lost your original thread on your Onk 616 network problems, but did you see my reply to that post? You have the famous HDMI board failure, and your 616 is under a free repair warranty. Yes, thnx. Unfortunately (or fortunately? depending on how you look at it) the 636 lost WiFI connectivity after a couple hours even in my office just 5-6 away from the main router. I have the TX-NR838 up & running. No connectivity issues yesterday afternoon thru evening & so far today no problems. And it seems to be better sounding. I hate using the usual subjective audiophile terms but more "air", "transparency", better soundstage with less metallic/siblence over-processed-like sound. There's nothing is the specs that I can see that would be indicative of this, other than having a lot more power. But that shouldn't matter with Chorus I mains, RC7 center & surrounds.

The Dude Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have purposely spent 3 times as much on my wives jewelry in the last 3 years than what I have spent on myself for audio.
