Default 800D3 related: Does this mean I have the best wife in the world?

I am surprised no one mentioned she even got the RIGHT black gloss color [emoji51]

Congrats man.

Both for the cake and the missus.

And happy [emoji322] birthday

Happy birthday & congrats on finding the right girl! Now, will she fight you over the sweet spot when listening to those babies?

(Harprise = surprise, that's how my 3y old Emma says it).

And man, do I love my wife.

She was SO excited to finally reveal the cake... I was so happy.

Enjoy BW fans.

This is better than the best hifi system in the world.

... or a husband and wife could co-exist in the same sweet spot - although it may delay the start of the entertainment.

You don't have to worry about occupying the same sweet spot as with the 800D3 series the sweet spot is wide so multiple people can enjoy unless you like occupying the same space.
