Wife trouble

You already have the speakers so tell her that they won't work with her console.  Immediately follow that with "of course, I will sell the speakers so you can get the console honey... the speakers we will have to buy instead will be <insert mega-buck speaker here>"





Then take the speakers and move into the garage.

Use another room for audio. Finish your basement that's where I got sent. I did have a WAF approved system in the living room as well, but I was lucky . 

All great ideas. I'm going to see how they sound once they get pushed into a corner. If sound is at least equal I'll stick with them if not, i like what Randy said..."bowers & Wilkins book shelf speakers should work honey".

My vote is for a basement Man Cave.  I have had mine since 1994, and it works great.  I put all my old gear in the den, so nobody feels bad that I won't show them how to operate my big rig.  I can crank it without disturbing people upstairs, and I get everything in black, so new gear doesn't call attention to itself.  No WAF issues whatsoever.  Plus, if I do get any grief, I just pull up some of her recent credit card bills, and that's the end of that.

Just fix the problem the right way and get a divorce. Shame on you for getting married in the first place.
