How Are AV Buying Decisions Made in Your Household?

SV Staff  |  Jun 16, 2015

Geoff Morrison’s recent blog, ”Death to the 'WAF' (Wife Acceptance Factor”), got us thinking about how household buying decisions are made when it comes to AV gear. Select the scenario that best describes the situation in your household and, as always, we encourage you to leave a comment to explain your choice, talk about exceptions, etc.

At the time of this comment there are 66 votes from males that make 100% of the decisions without consulting with their spouse/significant other. IMO there are 66 liars or 66 pending divorces. :-)

After I finally convinced my wife we needed a new speaker setup, we purchased the GoldenEar Aon 3's. After a week went by she told me we needed the matching center and surrounds. Lol.

I was stuck at a red light for years, and finally had enough. Put my foot on the gas and got what I wanted. Needless to say, I'm no longer married. Sucks, just wanted my cake and eat it too !
