prof....good for you, as, it should be.....The point I was making was based on me, and my experiences....Great example. My ex wife ( we were together for 34 yrs ), did not like the look of many speakers I have owned ( not just speakers, such as cables, elevated, on wood / ceramic blocks, etc ), but appreciated my listening habit ). I always had my own dedicated audio room, which was pretty much used by me, and listening buddies visiting. I was never " limited " to what was brought into " my space ". This was also an agreement the ex and I had made ( sort of like a prenup, lol ), prior to our engagement. When she visited my, at that time, current home, during our dating period ( I was 24 ), it was quite clear, she was not as " accepting " as your wife. I helped hundreds of listeners over the years, in putting systems together, and there were more conflicts, than not, when it came to the " looks " department. I do appreciate, as well, the fact that you need to be pleased, visually, with your speaker choices. I would own an " ugly " speaker, if it gave me the performance that satisfied my enjoyment of listening. I suppose, my modified Klipsch Lascalas, and the subs I had built, would not please many, on a visual level. Again, these have been my experiences. So, I do understand, not " all " spouses, are like yours.......Enjoy ! MrD.
