I'm obviously a wilson fan, but there are other great speakers out there that she may think look good in your room, and you still like the sound of. Show her some beautiful wood options, like Sonus Faber. Tons of options.

Will try the Sonus Fabers
Thanks for all the tips. I do not think she'll go for the other colors or the visit to the store.
I'll try the Sonus Fabers P |

Since you'll be looking at Sonus Faber, highly recommend you also take a look at Dali speakers. Several models to choose from that have excellent sound and beautiful finishes, especially the Epicon series. There is a good chance this line would meet the WAF test. I believe our friend, Masterlu, is a Dali dealer as well. |

Peter - maybe you could go with a little shock and awe, then dial it back to your tastes......tell here that you've decided against the Wilsons but have decided on a pair of Marten Coltrane Supreme 2s :

The challenge of a system in a shared space is that both of you need to like both the sound and the appearance. Convincing your wife to go along for auditions is a good start. My wife came with me to audition Wilson, SF, and a couple of others, and thankfully we both have similar tastes, so we easily agreed on the look and sound of our Amati Futuras. As Marc points out, there are lots of options out there. Getting your wife engaged in the process will help.

It's funny, Wilson's have been compared to trash cans for a long time... Now coffins. Progress? Or not... Lol.

Hopefully you find something you like as much or more or you will constantly be wishing you could of got the Sabrinas.
The Sabrina is really unimposing in real life and should be able to work in pretty much any room. IMO How about a different room where you have a say? |
