Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners QS8 placment

Oh, my wife doesn't like "boxes on sticks", so I'm going to have to compromise a little more and put the bookshelves on, well, bookshelves (open top, open back, so not too much problem there). Unless I can talk her into towers as being better looking. So until I get a house with a dedicated home theatre/listening room (ha ha ha...), I can't get gigantonormous towers or Magnepans.

I love my wife... M80ti(s) AND a 92" wide projection screen.. she loves actions films almost as much as I do!

I might have said this already on these boards but... My wife is LESS room decor-conscious than myself; I'm the visually picky one. We’ve been living in our current house for over 8 years, and we still don’t have any window treatment in the living room and she says it's perfect as it is (thus, no movies till after dark LOL). When we were choosing the sub, I was the one who adamantly refused the cylinder designs. I guess this is a benefit of having a scientist as wife -- an essentially infinite WAF. HAHAHA…

OK, but who does the laundry and cleans the bathrooms???

I do the "easy" part of the laundry, which is running the washer and dryer. Wife and the three daughters do the "tedious" part, i.e., sorting, folding and putting them back to the closets. As for the bathrooms and showers, whoever uses it in a "major way" cleans it right after use. Once a week, a professional cleaner comes in and cleans up all rooms. Next question?

"A professional cleaner"... I like that. Connotates respect rather than servitude.

Thanks for the kind words, Mark. My wife and I always try to treat the person we long-term hire as our close friend, or even like a family member.

We hired this young American woman as nanny shortly after moving to the US from Japan 12 years ago. She is still working as our full-time nanny today! Essentially, she raised our three daughters; they regard her more as an elder sister than as nanny. We are obviously very proud of our nanny. Everybody tells us that we are extremely lucky to find such an excellent nanny and then be able to keep her for 12 years. But I think this is largely due to my wife's ability to show respect and appreciation, and treat her as a family member and friend rather than a service provider. I am proud of my wife in these regards, too.

she doesn't carry an umbrella even on unusually sunny days, does she Sushi?
