Its all relative. In my massiv 2 years of marriage, I've learned that the wife-factor is something that constantly varies. In other words, grow thick skin and dont worry so much about what they say and how they react - afterall, women dont give a shit when they complain.. its neverending. Serious, in my life I have a never-ending amount of tasks given to me by my wife. I'm not complaining, its part of marriage.. but if you're the person working and hustling, women better close the lid on certain things..
like speakers. Above is a pic of what i'm running, a good balance of size and performance. Actually, they're some of the larger speakers I've owned.. not so wide, but tall. Nice thing about electrostats is that they are thin. Either way, I always wanted a pair of electrostats ever since I heard them when I was a kid. Very neutral sound, very clean - and appearance is something that people always talk about anytime they come over. They're not the loudest speakers I've ever owned, and they're very weak with bass so a good sub is mandatory (though, ANY good system will have a sub, imo). Funny though, the biggest weakness with these speakers is that they are very picky with placement.. and therefor, they're not for filling sound into a room with lots of people. They're more for serious listeners who enjoy placing themselves in the sweetspot.. kinda like studio monitors.
