Best speaker a wife would tolerate

fortunately, my wife has allowed me to claim our entertainment area as my own. not only did i get to decide on speakers and electronics, i even chose the rock and roll art works, designed the storage cabinets for my lp collection, and picked out all the furniture and lighting. how good is that! last year, when i sold (on audiogon) my avalon acsents that were finished in curly maple and bought eidolons in myrtle burl, she asked why i would want to get the same speakers i had in a different finish. (i did tell her the truth.... tho not the price.) anyway, my bride thinks the avalons are beautiful, as do all the other women in our extended family. as do i.
