WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)

If your listening room is shared space (with your spouse) you may need to consider the Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF). Although most men have no problem putting a pair of 6- foot tall tower speakers in the living room, you may meet with resistance from your significant other.

There are many speakers out there that sound great and can be easily integrated into the decor of a room so that they are virtually invisible. Of course, if you're lucky enough to have sovereignty over a dedicated listening room, by all means get those mammoth tower speakers!
