I can't believe that someone's spouse felt that Maggies were ugly. I feel that they are beautiful. When my lady friend first saw my Martin Logan Monolith IIIs speaker, she actually said that they were pretty. now the hugh Mark Levinson 23.5 amps on the other hand, she didn't care for them at all. Cables? nope. Rosewood Sota Turntable? yep. Cabinet? yep.
I live in a 1930s style house with lathe and thick plaster walls. Shutters behind the speakers and on the side walls and art on the rear walls, and I can tell you that walking around my room when the music is playing, there are spots that I feel need some sort of treatment. My floor is hardwood with a large, thick area run from the speakers to the back wall, so that first reflection point is minimized. I have wonderful sound (to me and others), but yeah, I do think that I may need some sort of room treatment. Just don't want to throw money at a problem without knowing exactly what I'm doing.
enjoy
