I thought it would be a great thread to post some funny quotes from our spouses about our B&O gear. Here's a simple example of mine:
A bit ago I found a great deal on a BS9000 off of ebay. My wife is really not interested or appreciative of my B&O habit or particularly fond of hi-fi other than liking the sound of the music it plays. Proud of my find, and the great deal, I asked my beloved what she thought the BS9000 sold for new. Her first guess: $200 (US dollars). I almost cried. 😁

Experience...
I said: THAT MUCH! What are you, crazy?!?!? 👍
To the topic, not the wife but a female friend...
Walks in, sees the BM6000... "You have an 8-track player"?
My wife constantly says I'd rather spend time with my "girlfriend" (Beosystem) than her.
We had our friends over a few nights ago, and she did warn their children "not to touch, look at, or breathe on Jon's B&O, or else he'll kill you. He won't hesitate to kill our kids for touching it, so he won't hesitate to kill you either." Hahaha! A bit of exaggeration, but not much!

Once, while visiting friends, I borrowed my girlfriends nailpolish for locking a couple of tapehead azimuth screws.
I cannot recommend you do the same. You'll never hear the end of it.

Prospective girlfriend during try-outs enters my listening room, which is adjoining the large kitchen. Sees my BeoLab 5s, asks "What are those?"
Falls silent when she is told they are loudspeakers.
"This could be such a great dining room."
I'm single.
I should feel rather lucky then that my wifes goal for next year is to buy a Beovision 7-40-2, a Beolab 2 and a nice Struer design table for it to go on!!!
I have just bought a Nissan Patrol to go blasting around the countryside in, and she thinks its cool and has already booked off road lessons.
(No she is not call Bob and doesn't have a beard either)

I have a particular experience with my girlfriend when she first entered my listening room.
It was the time, I had my Beosystem 6000 and two pairs of S-75's, one pair on original stands and one on a shelf. The first thing that she said was:
"I won't help you getting these speakers moved if we are ever going to move together... The radio and record player is nice, but those speakers are damn big!"
When I bought a pair of MS150.2's, she was surprised that they could be that big, they certainly look smaller in the picture 😁

For some reason woman do seem to appreciate Beolink with powerful speakers in the bedroom.🤒
My Other half is always quick to jump and say B and O this and that when something is not working but quick to take the credit when our friends come over and watch a film or we have a party and they compliment on the sound etc.
I took the Beo4 the other week and said if you dont like it dont use it.
That got me no where.
