best wife friendly monitor?

Choosing between Thiel PCS, B & W 805's, or Tyler Acoustics Taylo reference for our living room full of antiques. Driven by Rotel 1070/1080 combo with Rega Planet 2000. Eclectic listening habits with a 2000+ cd collection.I have been known to crank it up when the little lady is out. Want to enjoy my hobby while maintaining marital bliss!

CARAVELLE'S FROM STAR TECHNOLOGIES ARE BEST MONITORS I'VE HEARD. THEY COME WITH STANDS TOO.

The dark red cherry 805's should fit your decor, & are very WAF accepted.

The Von Schweikert VR4 Jr's that I didn't sell, are very appealing to my wife. When set up properly - they sound excellent too! :-)

I would look into Sonus Faber (many models depending on your budget). To my eye they are some of the most attractive looking monitors made, and are of course world class speakers. Their use of Walnut in many of their models may also allow them to fit into your antiques nicely.

Tyler Acoustics has like 25 different types of wood to choose from. Let the wife pick the wood as this could do your audio hobbie some good! Happy Holidays
