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?

Baddabob, that was the solution I had in my first apartment after getting married. The speakers sat close to the rack against a side wall where they were fine as background music, but I could rearrange the room in two minutes and have great sound. It's a simple solution that easily satisfies both parties involved-- The room is arranged the way she wants it, and I get the music in the room I want it in.
I will not divorce a woman because of audio only.
Wife are very important in our life.I just lost
my wife last year,thats why I know.Work it out bro.

I'm sorry to hear about your losing your wife, and I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who feels that way. While I don't know either you or your late wife aside from what you say here, I'm sure you wouldn't have posted your message unless you and she cared for each other a great deal. The loss of any family member is not easy, but to lose your partner in life is hard indeed. Such a loss puts our audiophile hobby, interesting and satisfying though it can be, into clearer perspective, and I think you're doing us all a favor by pointing that out. Anybody having a disagreement with his wife over things like what kind of speaker to put in the living room should find a way to work it out, even if she's being very unreasonable. You never know how long you will have to live together, and getting along with your wife is more important than getting your way about speakers.
O2Pete thanks,I am glad you see it that way.The worse
part when you try to find onother partner,most of the
women,I corresponded they are not even half of my late
wife in terms of kindness,understanding,this are the
women who will divorce you in a second,and geta goodlawyer.
Next thing you know,they are getting half of your
fortune,maybe even asking one of your monoblock amp,
one speaker,one cable.I have a feeling, I will never get
marry again.Sacry....
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.
