you wrote " my room.." That might be the problem right there. It is "your" room, and yet your wife has a say? My suggestion would be to solve the speaker problem by dealing with the room issue. A room of your own! I mean, not one that you make claims for, but one that you have claims to. If you and your wife agree about this, then much of the other problem will be resolved. If what you are really struggling with is a desire to share "your" passion for music and movies with your wife, then your conversation begins not here, but there with her.If You wish her to share your passion for anything and she does not, then it is control issue and it is your problem- i.e. there is no happy face on this button.
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
Size and Placement does matter do to a misunderstood wife. I can't have speakers on stands, I can't have floorstanding speakers, and in-wall speakers are too permanent. What in the hell am I suppost to do? My room is 17' X 14' and I'm looking for speakers that will be used for music listening and eventually home theater listening. (when I can afford to complete the system). I want to find a good pair of speakers and amp that I can eventually build a good home theater system with. I need to stay below $1,000 for speakers. Any advice?
