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?:)

Would agree w audiotroy, find something balanced between the two different speakers you like.  The new Focal Sopra 1s or 2s may fit the bill.

My wife has liked all the speakers I've owned over the last 25 years regardless of brand, type, cost etc.  I think she is scamming me somehow and enticing me to spend more on audio...  :o) 

She he is a good QA resource after a change for test verification and validation.  That comes in handy...

My wife at first was only concerned with the furniture: that is, the size and appearance of my speakers (Altec 604C duplexes) which is what I thought this thread was going to be about. 

Now that hat my system has been repaired and tuned again, she hears the difference and she's sorta into it. Sorta. Kinda. 

Good luck.

I bought Martin Logan Montis and when my wife said "No" I said "I don't care". Thats my advice!

Celo,
At least you have a wife who gives a Schiit about your hobby. The more time I spend with my music/system; the more my wife hates it. ;^)
Take your time shopping and enjoy it. Have you tried any brands not as often mentioned in the forums these days? PSB may be just the ticket, or SVS or even (gasp) GoldenEars.
