First: Honestly assess the situation: If the fact that your amp puts out 1200 watts per at 8 ohms doesn't draw even the slightest hint of interest from you significant other, drop that line of conversational openers like a hot potato. You'll only dig a deeper hole with each new technical pronouncement, and may eventually cause her eyes to keep rolling around her head without ceasing - Kind of like the black hole vortex intro to Twilight Zone. Don't laugh - I've seen it and it's not a pretty sight. In fact, you can probably draw on previous experiences with your car to determine if she will buy this one.
Second: If you can get away with this one, go for it. "Honey, you don't really want to know." If she says - "Oh yes I do", go to option 3 - post haste.
Third: Get her involved in the decorating side of the hobby. I have a friend whose wife dismissed the whole HT concept as a colossal waste of money, until she learned of the decorating possibilities. Now she's bugging my buddy to get more, bigger, faster, louder, brighter.... so she can make the HT of her dreams! Be careful, this may unleash a genie you can't put back in the bottle.
Fourth: And this is no bull. Set the system up so she can push one or two buttons and have the thing running. It's how I justified the Crestron. Honey' I've made it easy -see?
But as others have widely shared... if you can make this a family passion and not just yours....you'll have a lot more success for all the right reasons.
