I admittedly fudged numbers to get the WAF in the positive end of the spectrum. My wife was more miffed about the size of the M60's than the cost. I made her sit in the "sweet spot" and put on Episode II and she saw why I wanted them

Don't get me wrong I have done some appeasing to:

Panasonic wide screen for me = Lexus GX470 for her
Axiom m60's, vp150, qs8s, ep350 = New back yard for her
and just recently: Denon AVR3801, DVD2200, DCM380 = new tile and granite counter tops for her.

Yes, the monitary cost is significantly higher on her end but the price of peace is worth it.
