At first my wife was a little hesitant about me hanging speakers on the wall or ceiling. In reality, she had less of a problem about that, then she did my M60's, EP500, and VP150 setting below our 10ft wide theater screen. Once we found a finish that matched our trimwork, she actually thinks they all look pretty cool now..
I know it is a tuff sell, but if you can put them near the side walls somewhere, next to curtains or whatever they will be fine. The Q series are very forgiving on placement. Some of use have even set them on bookshelves and you don't even realize them when you walk in the room.
Here are a few pics
