She sold my B&W 802s when we moved but thinks the McIntosh stuff looks cool so that can stay.
Maybe it would be wise to let her pick the next set of speakers for you. Sounds like you got very little input in what is going on.
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
Ok, building new house wife killed my stereo ambitions with an awful built in tv console cabinet. Room is large, there is Sonos in the ceiling and outdoor area so that’s fine for background. She sold my B&W 802s when we moved but thinks the McIntosh stuff looks cool so that can stay. MA352 int amp and a mt5 turntable. I thought there was room for floor standing speakers next to the built in but sadly there isn’t room. I can put a sub in, budget is whatever, but I don’t want want to turn 20k Focals into $4000 speakers buried on a bookshelf. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mark

@ghasley is absolutely right. No one build a new house and worry about where to put his gears later. Unless he doesn’t really like audio. That’s a lifetime opportunity. The poor wife might even have nothing to do with the ordeal. She might just be a scapegoat. Anyway, none of my business. Sorry I even commented on it. My bad. |
Everyone here values their families more than their stereo system. When my grandchildren are around, I put everything on hold to enjoy them. Life doesn’t have to be always binary. Doesn’t have to be a choice between your wife and your system. You can have both and still live in harmony. |
