I think you guys misunderstood. I never make a major purchase without discussing it with my wie. She new that I was spending a lot of time researching and when that happens it's always going to cost. She also knows when I don't talk about it much it's because it's going to cost. The only reason why I did it this time is because I have an inheritance coming to me and I don't think she would have understood an expense like this for speakers. If was "our" money it would have been an entirely different story.
