Never a problem. His long, fat Cardas Wires are all over the living room and when visitors enter the room, his wife tells them to take care of the cables and not to to touch his Turntable...
You had your chance :-)

Stitch, I know what you are saying but my comment above is neither some kind of existential question nor a referendum on the marriage for audio guy. I very much like the changes that come to my listening room along with wify. However, the changes, despite I very much like them from general décor and usability perspective, in the same time very destructive for my audio objectives. In my mind it is not about prioritizing of importance but rather about the attempts to find consensuses and compromises.

I did try to move the furniture in order to have my listening spot with a single chair. I did not like any configuration that I was able to come up with. It is not that wife did not like it, I did not. So it is not a debate between what I want and what Amy “allows” but rather between what I use to want and what I want now.

For instance, evaluating why I do not like the listening experience at my couch I recognize that one of the reasons is the fact that with my listening chair I have super comfortable, wide arm rests. With the 3-sit couch I naturally sit in the middle and had no support for arm and shoulders. So in chair I basically comfortably lay vertically supporter by back and sides. In the middle sit of couch I in fact sit with all pressure on my back. So, I tried to construct temporary walls from pillow in the middle of the couch and it “feels” like it gave to me much more comfortable posture, even though I do think that in chair I do sit more comfortable.

I wonder if I were able to find some kind of add-in for my couch , some kind or removable arm-rest or perhaps some kind of “insert chair” that would be placed atop of middle sit of my could that would make me to “lay vertically” in it. I am sure something like this shall be out there… This is pretty much what I think I need:
