You need to involve them.I had started to upgrade my system and my wife noticed the sound was getting better.One SAt afternoon after having spent months listening to speakers.I asked her to come with me.She did and we sat and listened to the few i had narrowed it down to.the first set she heard where bookshelf speakers and they sounded so much better than what we had at home she said.You really need a new set of speakers.I told her that she could have the bookshelf ones for the HT set up and she said great lets hear the other ones and get a new pair for the dedicated sound room.I got my speakers she got her's and ever since she is the one that I give that last word to on upgrade's.I narrow them down then we listen toghther and go with what she says sounds best.If you cant get them on board time to drift them.Life is to short.Do you guys know why divorce is so expensive.Because it's worth it.
My wife is so uncool!
My soon to be exwife was such a loser she refused to aknowledge the existence of imaging and soundstage just to be a wench. (My friends did). She kept saying "NO" with an attitude and pointed to the speaker saying "it came from there". And she kept bugging me to move my system to another room. AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I should have never tried to share my hobby with her. Now she's pregnant with some guys baby and butt poor. HEH HEH. Good riddens. So come on guys lets here your stories she won't see this. And we won't tell her we're all buddies here. You know you want to.
