Vandersteen's Low Spousal Acceptance Factor

I purchased the Vandy 2ce sigs recently, and really like their sound. I know everyone has strong opinions about them on this site, but to me they sound very natural and balanced. I've owned Revels, Thiels and Von Schweikerts, but they all sounded slightly colored and/or dry by comparison.

Enter the dreaded Spousal/Wife Acceptance Factor. My wife HATES the way the Vandy's look. Is there anyone who can modify/dress the Vandy's to make them more presentable?? Or, is there another speaker (even if it costs a little more) out there that has that first-order sound, but doesn't look like a black box? Help!

Well the Quadros or the 5's. Nothing else near the price comes close to the performance that I have found. You can get good sound the trouble is the sound stage and openness of there design.

You could try getting ligher socks that make it blend into the room more. Other than that you can ask your dealer about getting 2 vsm wall mounts and one or 2 subs. THat would be one heck of a small satalite system.

What is your buget?

I like the way he thinks out of the box (no pun intended) You were looking at this the wrong way. Instead of trading the speaker trade the spouse. Nice clear open rich voices out of the speaker or constent screatchey nagging? Your choice.
