To learn to listen to music, not just hear it, you need the right room, the right equipment, the perfect volume, the perfect spot, and (of course), the embracing of the music. After you have all the proper tools, you can sit and enjoy the music. The first consideration is to listen to music in a comfortable chair. I would highly recommend a good quality Lazy Boy recliner.

The receiver is a power source and a switchboard for your additional stereo components. Any receiver will do, as long as it has one-hundred watts per speaker out-put.

After you've placed your speakers, hooked up your receiver, connected your compact disc player, and put your couch or music chair in the "full effect" spot in your family room, now you can turn on the receiver and compact disc player, and put in one of your favorite compact disc's. One problem; do not hit the play button yet. Sorry! You first need to make sure the volume is at its lowest point. Make sure the CD button on the receiver has been pushed. Now here's a little advice from a male. We males are supposed to know our remote controls, according to woman. So, if you're a woman who is reading this, you need to get to know your remote control(s). You need to memorize where the mute button is, and wh...
