B&O always made pretty good sounding speakers, seriously...it might have been their best component. IMO, get the B&O's and make your wife happy, trust me it's worth it...a happy wife, is a happy life
For a second system where sound quality is second to disappearing (visually) speakers, I went with the Anthony Gallo A'diva ti and their MPS-150 subwoofer. The sub was totally out of view and the small A'divas sat on either side of the tv. It made great music for what it was; mostly background music for small gatherings. My wife never once complained about the looks as it was unnoticeable.
Beautiful, unobtrusive, relatively inexpensive with the ability to produce sound that belies other speakers costing much more $$$ = Silverline Prelude Pluses in real rosewood veneer for $2,000.00 (40"x5"x8")
