Audiophiles Wanted!
(5 reasons to help convince your spouse that great audio is a must in the home.)
If you’re someone who loves technology, but your significant other does not, you may find it difficult to convince them to install a great audio system in your home. After all, quality isn’t always cheap, and they may have other priorities. However, they may just be unaware of the wonderful reasons why audio systems are so important for a home. So if you want to convince them using a few solid reasons as to why home sound systems are beneficial, have them read this list.
1. Own Your Moment
Music affects our mood. While it’s not as simple as “control your music to control your mood”, music is a great way to help your emotions connect with something outside of yourself; it can help you feel comforted or even assist in changing your mood. Whether you want to combat dreary weather by playing some bubbly Europop like Mika or compliment a light rain with some Pink Floyd, when you control the music throughout the home your life soundtrack can be heard by anyone. Don’t be afraid to live in the moment and dance along to some Whitney Houston or boost your endurance by playing “I Will Survive” when you have to use the restroom after your mother-in-law finally got done using it. Live in the moment with the help of music.
2. Host Like the Pros
One of the most essential components to the vibe of a party is the music. Whether you are hosting a dinner party for work colleagues or dancing through the night at a teenage slumber party, music sets the mood, can help people feel more comfortable by hearing familiar or relaxing tunes, and eases guests by ensuring there is no awkward silence. Entertaining others is not complete without covering all your bases, so don’t just stop at food and decor - make sure music is on your list whenever you host. Of course when you are ready for a party to be over, but a few guests haven’t gotten the cue that it’s time to go home, a sound system also allows you to easily give some subtle hints by playing Semisonic’s “Closing Time” softly in the background.
3. Get Lost in a Movie
You may watch a fin gliding menacingly through the water, read the golden text scrolling through infinite space, or see a man use his whip to swing to safety narrowly escaping death, but if you do not hear John Williams’s scores while watching Jaws, Star Wars, or Indiana Jones, then you will feel a disconnect from these sensational films. Whether it’s drama, horror, mystery, or action, the sound is what helps draw us into these films. How do you expect your husband to cry his heart out during the tearjerker funeral scene of Steel Magnolias if he can’t hear Sally Field scream out “I Wanna Know Why!”? Don’t be one of the many who only care about the high quality of what they see, but neglect the importance sound has in enjoying the movie experience. If you want to feel it, you need to hear it.
4. Control at Your Fingertips
A good audio system is simple to control, meaning you have the power in the palm of your hand. By syncing your gadgets with your audio system, it means that the high tech is low maintenance. The better the system the easier it will be to use, and thus, the more likely you will actually use it. Some keep their distance from installing or upgrading technology because they don’t want to spend the time learning how to use new systems, but the truth is, good technology is usually simple to use and will actually save you time and effort. This means that it is usually worth the investment.
5. Easy on the Ears and Eyes
Speakers have come a long way, and thus, outfitting your living space with an audio system can be done without clashing with your home decor. It’s not big box speakers and wires running through every inch of the house. It doesn’t even have to be futuristic looking orbs that contrast the nature-inspired furnishings of your home. In fact, some sound systems can be almost completely invisible. There are many options when it comes to sound systems, meaning you don’t have to compromise good style for good sound - you can have both.
Knowing what’s available is also beneficial to know if you are still trying to convince your spouse to get the sound system your home has been longing for. So what are you waiting for?
