kenratboy Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 While I cannot complain about free rent and such, there is usually someone home at any given time, and this inhibits my ability to listen to music at loud levels (90% headphone use) - when I get my own place, I can absolutly guarentee that my Klipschies will be playing music 2, 4, 6, 8 hours a day. At this point, I will start putting some very serious time, money, and effort into my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00n Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Much less. Kids always have the living room watching cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I don't know if I listen less while people are around but I do temper my selection a bit. I have some jazz that I like that will drive most people out of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my music is not appreciated/liked - or just freaking wierd, and I prefer to listen in private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckears Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I am usually off work in the middle of the week, my wife on the weekends. While my daughter is in school, I will usually have the chance to actually listen to music, rather than having it on in the background. Still, I have let them know at times that, even when they are here, I sometimes have to sit down and enjoy, with no complaints. The griping about musical selection during the "performance' rather takes away from the experience, at which point they know I am completely determined to crank it.

fastlane Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 My best listening time is when the wife and 2 kids are out. For some reason she needs to "hear herself think". Must be a female thing. Just as she doesn't understand how me lying in my recliner, eyes closed, and relaxing to somewhat loud music. That, I guess, is a male thing.

lovedrummin Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 My wife works out of our house, so I'm unable to listen to music (at a proper volume) during her working hours. Also, she is 16 years younger than me so the music we grew up on is alot different. She still thinks Donny Osmond is "a little bit rock and roll". Claims to dislike The Beatles, but whenever I have the Fab Four playing or someone covering one of their songs she has a tendency to comment on what a good song is playing. Heh, heh, heh. I love it. Anyway I'm a classic rock kind of guy and she's into contemporary country. She does apparently like Rush and I've come to dig Toby Keith. btw - Whenever she has to go out of town on a business trip, I crank up the RB-5IIs and the house is rockin'. Let the jams begin!

fini Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Do you listen to LESS music because others are home? Totally! Either the TV (as in m00n's case), the washing machine, or loud-talking family members are there to "break the mood." Msic for me is very much a personal experience, almost like I am having a on-on-one relationship with the performer. Mass enjoyment can be fun (like at a concert where everyone is "into" it), but that rarely happens at home. It's cool that my kids (14 and 16 year-old girls) and I can share our love of music (there are a few artist we can agree to love, as there are others only one of us digs).

mike stehr Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 As long as the stereo is off monday when 7th heaven is on. I have free reign any other time, and I wear my gear out. It never used to be this good, she had two cockateils. There was no way in hell a guy can get intimate with listening to music with those birds screaming and chirping. Didn't matter if the music was on or not, those things will put you on edge. Cute and loveable, but I couldn't co-exist with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scp53 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I listen just as much whether someone is home or not. The only thing that changes is the volume when someone comes home(and sometimes the type of music). scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 It's difficult to listen to music at realistic levels, without disturbing others, unless you have a dedicated music/home theatre room. I waited all my life for mine. I now have it. It's worth waiting and planning for. My life is now complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Once my wife sets foot in the house, no music - Television 2300 hours (11:00 P.M.) Crossing Jordan then about 2 - 3 hours listening through headphones. (looking for some GOOD sealing Sennheisers, Grados and als I'd like to get my nephew a pair of Koss Pro 4 TAA - Titaniums) dodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
