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.

Wife objects to speakers intruding on the living room space, wants the 901s pushed back to the wall, or hung from the ceiling, or squeezed into the room corners behind furniture . . . of these, only the ceiling hanging makes any sense, but it is not a large room so I think having the source 8’ in the air will be noticeable and not in a good way, plus further experimenting with other speakers would then be foreclosed. I am actively trying to change the subject. Let’s paint or plant something, shall we?
