The day she realized the ring was gone was actually the day I sold my Paradigm Monitor 9s after buying the M22s. The guy who bought them took a little longer to audition them than I had planned (and no, I didn't let him hear the M22s). My wife was giving me hints from the sidelines to speed it up -- which I thought was only because we were going to be late for something if the guy carried on. But after I had helped the guy load the speakers and gotten into our car to leave, that's when she layed it on me.
She felt much worse about it than I did.
