Topic: irritation is...

[Tim]

coming into your listening room and seeing that your drunk friend is moving your speakers all about the room

no dude, it doesn't sound better when they are toed in so far that they cross each other 2 feet in front of the amp/speaker line and they're spaced 12 feet apart (and the listening position is about 8.5').

I just set them back up and was told "dude, that's not right - doesn't sound good at all."

-T to him

[flipp]

when your friend sobers up, send him to http://www.ramsete.com/ to find out why he was wrong in moving your speakers, besides it just being impolite and wrong to mess with other folk's stuff

oh he's way past that. He's had a little experience funding and building a studio (not audio design mind you) and so he's convinced that my 2 way B&Ws will sound best in a corner at 45* angles, my sub turned backwards and firing into the wall with tweeters hung in the back corners (behind the listening position) firing down and "slamming into the other speakers" to create "a line array" affect.

someone taught him lots of words but no definitions

How about this one? 

     There used to be this band up here in Canada called Nero and they used to play in my town every now and again and we had some really fun parties afterward. 

     Typically some would still be partying in the morning though that never generally included myself.  The lady and I woke up one morning at around 9am or so to the sound of broken glass.  I jumped up and ran downstairs to see what was going on and found this guy in my living room with his dick in his hand ready to piss all over the side of one of my Mission 783's.  Gave him a smack and asked him WTF?  Fortunately, he only had a chance to barely dribble on them.  No idea what he was thinking but clearly the "real" world did not exist to this guy at the time.  Then, he proceeded to piss his pants and out the door he went. 

   Now that was irritating.  Needless to say when I sold my Missions the incident was not mentioned...

speakers are back in place, carpet marks showed me the way and my tape measure fixed the rest. Capitol reissue of The Band sounding very nice presently

at least no one tried to pee on anything
