Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions M80s with Single Tweeter

I have two kids and a wife. Like Jason, I sleep very little. Unlike Jason though, I don't have to work with heavy machinery. You better get some sleep, man. I don't want you dozing off in our Paradigm/Axiom showdown tomorrow.

Hmm... child care? Maybe kids take less time as they get older. Yeah, right.

My typical day,

I am awakened around 7:30AM thanks to my 4yrold, out of bed by 8AM to get oldest(7yrs) off to school or at least say goodbye, check the forums and Email, run 5K and/or hit the weights for an hour(my 4yrold 'helps and joins me' then we play. Some days I pick up my oldest for lunch. Run him back to school 12:45, then run the youngest to preschool or some other afternoon activity. If he is at school(MWF), I will sometimes grab a nap for an hour or so. Pick him up 3:00PM my oldest is home from school 3:30 my wife arrives home around 4:00 I have started making myself some lunch for work at night around 3:30 and then start supper. I head off to work at 5PM and then arrive back home at 2:30 AM and off to bed around 3AM then start all over again for 5 days. I get a little extra shut eye on Sundays, but I do find it hard to sleep more than 6hrs at any one time now.

Right now I forgo the naps to play and experiment with the speakers. Once I decide which ones I will go with, I am sure I will calm down a little.

Oh, you win. Fine.

Do I get an EP600? Other than spending the extra time with the kids(which I wouldn't trade for anything), I think that would make the sleep deprivation much easier to take.

Heh... you get an EP600 the minute I can afford 5. And the WAF to go with it.

I think that's about the same time I get one too!

Last friday night after work I came home and decided to get a head start on the weekend by staying up until 1am dismantling my stereo rack, cleaning all the connections with deoxit and progold, then polish off any dust and fingerprints from the components and throughly vacuume where the rack sits, And then reassemble everything, First by putting the components back one by one, carefully measuring each one into its place on the shelf within less than 1/16" tolerances followed by paying carefull attention to keep all the wires organized and neatly placed and ziptied.

I then proceeded to wipe down my M80's with a microfiber to remove any dust (no chance there would be fingerprints on them lol) However that is something I do on a weekly basis. Although i did do it a bit more carefully by gently wiping any dust off the drivers along with dusting the insides of the ports.

And after that was done with I tested all 7 of my sources to make sure everything still worked.

I guess its pretty sad when you actually like doing that, Which I do.

I hope my wife doesn't read this post. She'll end up giving me more chores.

We all have our obsessions, Brandon. Some worse than others, for sure, but we all got 'em.
