Wife trouble

Never tried, but I'm interested to hear from those who have.

I'm very lucky, my wife knew I loved audio way back before we were married.....  she could care less what my gear looks like or what space it occupies   

We have a family room with a 60" TV that everyone gravitates toward and my den where I have my system and a smaller TV.   When the kids have friends over we will hang in the den, usually watching TV but sometimes a concert video or music through the stereo.   

And as far as what twoch said about being a man,  it takes a bigger man to put his wife first and make her happy .........  

I would suggest some nice bookshelve speakers on stands with a small footprint and a sub.  

Did you buy the console yet?   If so maybe you could both compromise.

I had to laugh at the title of this thread. I agree with Stereo5... keep the speakers and trade in the wife for an upgraded model.
