Speaker recommendation for married couple

Agree with audiotroy in that it is odd that she liked both KEF LS50 and Sonus Faber which are two totally different animals.

Maybe totally different sonically, but perhaps they were the two smallest speakers that she saw.  ;^)

I recall my wife many years ago pushing for those cute little Bose Cube speakers. She thought they were adorably unobtrusive, unlike my "normal" full range speakers.
She envisioned them being very easy to "hide".

I never did buy the Bose Cubes, and eventually she just gave up trying to steer my audio purchases. I allow her to run her fashion sense in every other room in the house.

My better half, eventually found what she liked, which is all that matters at the end of the day.  That is married life!  

The only other thing I can say listen To them, a lot of them and eventually she will have her choices & hopefully a few of yours. 

If they are a high high end shop or independent dealer they should allow you to demo them in your home.  

Good luck and be patient.  

The spousal unit and I have just completed our first speaker search as a couple. My spouse, a musician, initially wanted stand mounts (Genelec, B&W). Based on past experience, I wanted floor standers (as close to full range as we could get for our budget). After considerable auditioning, we decided on a pair of GoldenEar Triton 3+. You could say that they have both "detail and warmth". They also had attributes we both considered important: large soundstage, generous sweet spot, transparency, coherence, dynamics. (Much to our surprise, neither of us liked the LS50s.) 

I am with audiotroy - what specifically did your wife like abut the Sonus Fabers and LS50s. (The house sound of these two brands sound nothing alike to me.) What kind of music do you both listen to? What's your budget? I assume you both brought along some of your favorite music to the auditions.

Just for the record,  I am the wife, and I am the audiophile.  So now, jnovak, you've heard of a wife who cares more about how a speaker sounds than how it looks. ;-)

My wife is not an audiophile, but greatly appreciates and acknowledges the sound quality of our system.  She only comments on whether she feels if the sound is better, worse, no difference, ad does not tell me yes or no regarding any of my audio purchases (although she does comment on some of my music choices). My last purchase was a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors (in cherry finish) on Skylan stands. That was over a year ago and she still comments on hearing things in a recording that she never notices before, and loves these speakers.  Before getting these we auditioned Harbeth M30.1s, Golden Ear Triton 3, KEF LS50s, and the Tannoy Revolution XT 8F.   I really liked the Harbeths, but thought to give the Omega a try (30-day free home audition, just pay return shipping).  We both immediately picked the Omega's.  Midrange magic (right there with Spendor and Harbeth) at half the cost of the Harbeth's.  My speaker path to today has taken us from AR (from late 70s), Altec Lansing, Polk, to most recently Spendor (BC-1 and s5e).  Louis at Omega makes a wide range of monitors and floor standers, does custom veneers, is great to interact with, and produces one heck of a speaker.
