Speaker recommendation for married couple

I am the guy who opened the thread "Harbeth Love". Unfortunately, wife didn't like them at all. She listened to ATC, nope. Spendor? Nope. I do trust her ears too but we need speakers that we both like. I remember her liking this Sonus Faber speakers (can't recall the model but I know newer Fabers). She also likes KEF LS50 which I find good but not outstanding. Any help for this married couple?:)

First, the basics. Use lotion soap like Nivea to wash your ears out extremely well.   You may come to like her tastes a lot more. :)

Best,

Sonus Faber have a high WAF plus exceptional sound. Maybe mix it up and steer away from Brit companies: Revel, etc. Vandersteens a tough sell: they are butt ugly.

Agree with audiotroy in that it is odd that she liked both KEF LS50 and Sonus Faber which are two totally different animals.  I went through this with my wife as well and came to the conclusion that she didn't like the "sound" of anything that looked like a plain, old fashion speaker box (e.g. Harbeth, Spendor)
