No, not really. They don't like to be against the wall is about it. They have a crazy good soundstage over a very wide area-the downside is that they're not crazy hot at the high end nor is the bass killer-don't get me wrong, they're very warm and in some ways very accurate, but lazers they're not. I really like the sound, but with stuff other than jazz I fall back on a sub.
If you want to please your wife, get a couple 2nd gen apple airports (the later ones don't have digital out, just the onboard dac -not shabby- the earlier ones are only 2ghz). You can stream from any apple device to multiple airports, and use the output to drive either a dac/amp thru optical or analog via the onboard dac and a 1/8 to rca converter. I stream to 4 different audio systems in the house this way.
