Like I've said too many times, my wife has not much interest in music without rhythm (ie., dance music), and very little interest in "music" of any kind via audio, so she generally stays away from my audio sessions, which she refers to as, "Loud, blaring music".  Ironically, there have been occasions when the electricity and the sound were as good as they get, and when this happens she will USUALLY come in and make a (positive) comment about the MUSIC, even if it's opera!  However, since these occasions are few and far between these days, I have need for only one chair (MY chair) in my listening room, and I happily jump up and clear it out of the way if the girls (wife, daughter, granddaughters) want to dance.

There have been occasions over the last 45 years when my wife wanted to talk over the music, and I have responded to this in a number of ways, not all of them productive. But I think she has very rarely ruined my experience while meaning to share it.

Years ago, I think I would just say to her what I was thinking, maybe sharpen the edge of it a little.  These days I believe I would just take and enjoy the company for what it was worth and write down or write off the listening session, and try again another day.

So, hmmm...

How about 3 nice "theater" chairs, placed side by side?  I have been in some "Hollywood Mogul" home theaters that had very nice chairs that were pre-made to nest closely that way. I have no idea what they cost, though it would make no difference to these people;  but I also suppose there must be some sort of "price range" for these chairs.

Best regards,
Paul S
