Hi
Let me tell you a story…
In commenting on THIS thread I formed the view that on of our members had “wooferitis” a rather specialised form of upgraditis. This member (Bladerunner) was encouraging his brother to get a second SVS PB4+ for a medium sized HT room (one of these SVS babies is good for 126 dB of clean bass).
Then I thought harder. Remembered by layman’s phycology. Wasn’t there something called Munchausen syndrome by proxy (a dreadful thing as those with brave hearts will see HERE– maybe we were talking about something simular here… "Wooferitus by Proxy".
Excited, I researched further… 8O
Like all good amature scientists I sought a more general case of my theory. Of course there could be “Upgraditus by Proxy”. Checking it out clearly Bladerunner had it – wanting his brother to but JMLabs Utopias etc…
Looking at some more posts it hit me… There was case after case. HT Guide member after member… So many of us had Upgraditis often combined with Upgraditus by Proxy… Indeed we use this forum to foster our needs…
Horrified – I realised the need for a stiff drink… :beer:
And then – well then I’m off to read some home theatre mags…
