Roger that! I agree with you on keeping the wife involved. Totally understand now about the confined quarters.
This will all work out I'm sure, do in fact it seems there is good communication between you both.

Ok can I dispel some misunderstandings?
1. I did not pull the wool over her eyes. I showed her pics and told her I would like to bid on them as they were an amazing speaker at a never to be repeated price. She watched me bid on them, asked how I went. She actively helped me search for a shipping company. When that failed she and I talked about the campervan option.
2. We do not own this house. There isn't a room available for a "man cave" as it is a 3 bedroom home. Master bedroom, office and spare room for guests.
3. The furniture we have is what we have. Wasting money on refurnishing a rental for a short span of (hopefully) 12 -18 months is not wise nor an option.
4. My wonderful wife is usually very tolerant. I think work pressures may have caused her to be a tad less accommodating than usual. We are both frustrated by our cramped spaces, more so her as it ruins her decorating and the way she feels. We are working on solving that problem somehow.
5. The space is a shared space. We do not have any other place in the whole little house for a TV unit. It is what it is.
6. We went out into the city last night and had Malaysian. Her idea and a nice evening. I think I'll be ok with the speakers now (maybe!) but I'm going to have to find ways to make the downstairs area more to her liking.
7. They sound phenomenal!
