Best speaker a wife would tolerate

Sonus Faber Amati Homage, Bohlender-Graebener in-wall ribbons, Gradient Revolutions (can go up against wall and still sound great because of unique directional bass loading). Or better yet, get her involved in the selection process - honoring her preferences is good for the marriage, and could be a lot of fun. If she's really into this feng shui energy stuff, she might be open to the idea that beautiful music can completely change the energy in a room, in a home, and in the people who live there.
