Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor?

Buy the Harbeth C7's, she'll adapt. My wife also has her acceptance factors, and for years I tried the best I could to stay within her guidelines. Then one day I said "screw it", I wanted something that wasn't approved, bought it, listened to her whine for a week or two, and then life moves on.

We're still married, life goes on as normal, she just finds something else to complain about. That's women....if they ain't complaining...they ain't breathing. LOL!!

Other British speakers? Spendir? Linn? Or get custom stands fabricated to make the Harbeths look like a small floor stander?

Lol Stereo5 and Jmc! Too funny.

CT, if the two of you love the Harbeths, GET THEM!! Like Gsm said, just put them on some good looking stands...

I just don't think your wife likes speakers, period, lol. "She doesn't like speakers on stands, she doesn't like big speakers"... well what other kinds are there?? Just kidding by the way :-)

Can the two of you look at some Totems? I recently auditioned some Arros for 3 hours and they changed my whole take on what I'm trying to get out of my system.

Anyhow, good luck!

Check out Devores Orangatan - as beautiful looking as they sound!

How about a pair of Vandersteen 3's. I can't imagine anyone not liking the way those look.
