Wife trouble


Bought Def. Tech. 8040 Towers for living room for my first dive into audio world.  Because I love music, I really enjoy the sound over TV. My wife fell in love with a huge console that spans the length of LR wall and so towers will not work. 8040's are bipolar and need space to breath. What to do?

No need to bash women or marriage   No 2 are the same.  I am a music loving woman whose been married to the same man for 38 years.  Anytime there's more than 1 person there's going to be differing opinions.  It may be hard (sometimes even impossible) but try your darnedest to find a compromise that leaves both of you happy.  And yes, I know that's easier said than done.
Women are no better than men or no worse .
Both sexes have general ways of behavior forged by biology and culture .
At the end of the day women  are all more alike than different As are men .
Love is just accepting people as they are, but it is foolish to enter into a marriage that you know will eventually end in divorce. And ,factoring out lust, you always know .
I think I'm going to go with ceiling speakers.  Don't know what you all think about that. Center channel and six ceiling speakers scattered throughout living and dining room. Sub woofer also of course. Can that set up sound good considering no towers?
